Tennis player Novak Djokovic is struggling with a knee injury and needs a few weeks of recovery: his surgeon speaks.
During the last Roland Garros the champion Novak Djokovic has suffered a bad knee injury in the match that lasted five long hours against the Argentine Cerundolo, won by a whisker due to constant pain in his leg. The painkillers administered on the pitch by his staff helped him finish the match.
However, despite the changeover, the Serbian was forced to leave the Parisian tournament to have urgent knee surgery. The operation was quick, after two days the tennis player returned to his homeland, where he began to follow daily physiotherapy sessions to recover in the short term. Now that more than a week has passed since the operation, how is your recovery going?
Djokovic’s surgeon talks about how his recovery is progressing after his knee injury
Injured meniscus, the Serbian tennis player accomplished a real feat. Any other athlete would have given up, but he went all the way, winning and reaching the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, only to then retire. The surgical operation carried out in Paris went well, but the doctor Antoine Geromettawho carried out the surgery, was clear: the Wimbledon tournament will be almost impossible to face.
For Djokovic, however, the goal is the Olympics at the end of July. Gerometta commented on the tennis player’s achievement, stating that “considering the injury, I think what Djokovic did on the court was extraordinary, 99% of people would have gone to the emergency room. Now it depends on how his knee reacts.”
Novak Djokovi’s rest period, he will probably miss Wimbledon
The rest period for the 24-time Slam champion is about a month, just in time to return for the French Olympics, where he will return to the red field. At the moment, his participation in the Wimbledon tournament seems excluded, given that the British Slam will begin on July 1st. We can expect anything from Novak, maybe he will surprise the fans by showing up in London.
Anyway, the injury of last June 4th is a serious matter, and many are betting that even the champion will not underestimate the risks. Competitiveness is fine, love for tennis and the affection of the fans are fine, but as stated by Nole himself, “I listen to my body, the body requires rest”. Djokovic, the tennis player underwent surgery after the injury: when he returns. It’s still, Carlos Alcaraz, it’s now official: the announcement everyone was waiting for.
