Novak Djokovic will play in the Paris 2024 Olympics. After meniscus surgery following the injury suffered at Roland Garros (with consequent withdrawal from the tournament before the quarter-finals), Nole has broken the deadlock: he will be there at the Olympic Games. The announcement came from the Serbian Olympic Committee, which confirmed the participation of the world number 3 and also Dusan Lajovic, the 56th player in the rankings.

Now we need to understand if the Olympics will be the first tournament played by Djokovic post-injury or if Nole will be able to return to the court sooner: seeing him at Wimbledon (scheduled from 1 July) would be a big surprise, but the door is not closed yet. The 7-time champion at the Championships is working to try to shorten recovery time, but for Wimbledon (where he defends the points won in last year’s final, lost to Carlos Alcaraz) he is racing against time. No doubt, however, about the Olympics: Nole will try to win the last great title he is missing, after having won bronze in his first participation, in 2008. And he will find old friends again: given the presence of yesterday’s champions such as Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray (in addition to current phenomena, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz) will be great entertainment.
