A record-breaking man, even when it comes to injuries. The recovery continues at an astonishing speed Novak Djokovic from the injury to the medial meniscus of his right knee which forced him to withdraw from Roland Garros before the quarter-finals against Casper Ruud.
After the arthroscopic surgery he underwent, the 37-year-old reacted in a surprising way, as stated by Antoine Gerometta himself, the surgeon who operated on the 24-time slam champion. The Serbian was able to walk again without the aid of crutches after a week, ed he has already returned to training these days.
A video published by the former number one on his social channels shows how Djokovic has already returned to the gym, training at an unthinkable pace after this type of injury. He is a Nole who appeared smiling and determined, who alternates free body mobility exercises, training with some machines and exercise bike sessions.
The video ends with the Serbian champion first pretending to limp and then sipping a drink.
Signs of absolute recovery therefore for Djokovic, who will try to arrive at Wimbledon in the best possible condition.
However, as Gerometta stated, the chances that the Belgrade native will reach the Slam on grass 100% are really low. The surgeon who carried out the operation declared himself impressed by the Serbian tennis player’s threshold.
Regarding the extent of the injury, however, he preferred to remain cautious: “I was transparent with the team and with Novak, it will depend on how his knee reacts.” The 24-time slam champion will have to defend the 1200 points obtained in the last edition, when he surrendered to Carlos Alcaraz in one of the most spectacular finals in recent years.
However, the curiosity remains to find out in what condition he will arrive at the third major of the year and if he will be able to land yet another shot of his incredible career.
