Sinner, it’s a race against time: miracle on Church Road

Sinner, the news from a few hours ago has inaugurated completely unexpected scenarios: it is possible that the unthinkable could happen.

Those who believed that a miracle would be needed were wrong, because Novak Djokovic could recover in time for two of the events closest to his heart: Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics. There is still nothing official on the Major front, but the images that have leaked onto the web in the last few hours have convinced fans that the Serbian can manage to beat any existing record in terms of rehabilitation and recovery times.

The former world number 1, as you will remember, withdrew from Roland Garros on the eve of the quarter-finals due to a long-standing knee problem. He suffered a meniscus surgery immediately afterwards and it was believed, perhaps naively, that he would not be able to compete in the third Slam of the season, the British one. Just as it was believed, on the other hand, that his participation in the Games could also be at risk, considering the times generally expected in such cases.

We were wrong. Nole returned to the field as soon as he could and clearly shortened the game recovery time from injury. The last word has not yet been said, therefore: surprisingly, the Serbian champion could take to the field at Wimbledon and try to regain possession of that title which he won 7 times and which Carlos Alcaraz took away from him last year. With all due respect to the Spanish and also to Jannik Sinnerwhose respective paths on the English lawns would become more and more complicated in his presence

Sinner, the last word has not yet been said

At the moment, however, there is nothing official, except that Nole will definitely be at the Olympics. The Serbian Olympic Committee announced this, confirming the participation of its standard bearer par excellence together with that of Dusan Lajovic.

For the rest, we only know that he is training in the gym as if there were no tomorrow, to leave no stone unturned, precisely, in view of the race to the All England Club. Notwithstanding that, having won Wimbledon over and over times, he will definitely be more interested in a possible Olympic medal than in yet another Slam title of his career.

In the event that his physique requires him to make a choice, therefore, it is more likely that he will decide to opt for the Games, gold being the only trophy missing from his cabinet. She won a bronze in Beijing 2008 and will certainly have a great desire, therefore, to complete, as it should be, her sparkling collection.
