His presence was in the balance until the last second and in the end he made it. Novak Djokovic, despite a difficult operation performed only 20 days ago, will be at Wimbledon and will take part in the London tournament.
The Serbian who reached the final last year is still looking for his first Slam of the season, his 25th Grand Slam tournament. In short, a great career and Djokovic will be able to test his condition with a fairly simple start, the first three rounds should not present any sensational problems.
Nole will debut in the first round against the Czech qualifier Kopriva and will eventually face the winner between the British wildcard Fearnley and the Spaniard Moro Canas. In the third round, the top seed that Djokovic could draw is the Argentine Etcheverry, certainly not an expert on the surface and therefore watch out for our Luca Nardi and above all the Australian Alexei Popyrin, a tough obstacle on certain days.
The first real tough matches in the Round of 16 where Djokovic could draw one between the Russian Karen Khachanov and the Norwegian Holger Rune with the latter at least on paper the favorite. In the Quarterfinals Djokovic drew the worst opponent among the top seeds and that is the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, a tennis player he has already beaten in the past but who is always very dangerous on grass.
Obviously, much will depend on the physical condition of the champion from Belgrade and it will certainly help that the first few matches do not feature any very tough obstacles. Djokovic should possibly face one of Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev or even Taylor Fritz in the semifinals but watch out for surprises like the American Sebastian Korda or Jack Draper, the last winner in Stuttgart.
Then the final, a dream for Djokovic given how he arrived at the tournament but a match where he could take revenge both against Alcaraz and possibly against Jannik Sinner.
