The Serbian underwent meniscus surgery less than three weeks ago and is already on the pitch, but will only be there if he can be competitive.
This summer Novak Djokovic will play at Wimbledon but only “if he can fight for the title”. The Serbian champion, in an interview with the BBC at the end of a long training session on the lawn of the prestigious London tennis club, opens up about the possibility of taking the field on English grass for the Grand Slam tournament.
“If I know I can play close to my max or even already max, then I will play; if it doesn’t, then I’ll give someone else a chance to playand,” he stressed.
The seven-time champion underwent meniscus surgery in his right knee about three weeks ago but his recovery “is going well.” “I will only really play if I know that I am in a state that is good enough to go far in the tournament and fight for the title, so this is the condition – added Djokovic – The rehabilitation is going in the right direction every day, a little better and better. This is what gives me hope and encouragement to move forward. I’m taking things gradually. I’m not pushing myself 100% yet but I hope it’s going to come in the next few days.”
