Djokovic Eyes Wimbledon Return, Conditionally Pledges to Compete for Title

Posted : 25 June 2024

Novak Djokovic, recovering from minor knee surgery less than three weeks ago, remains cautiously optimistic about his Wimbledon prospects, emphasizing he will only compete if he feels capable of contending for the title. The seven-time Wimbledon champion sustained the injury during the French Open, prompting his withdrawal from the quarterfinals and subsequent surgical intervention on June 6, casting doubt on his participation in both Wimbledon and the Olympics.

 

Despite these setbacks, Djokovic, whose place at the Paris Games was confirmed recently, has shown signs of recovery with training videos on Instagram and a focused regimen upon arriving at the All England Club. Speaking to the BBC after a practice session on Monday, Djokovic underscored his intention to compete at his peak: "I didn't come here to play a few rounds. If I know I can play close to my maximum or at maximum, then I'll play. If not, then I'll give somebody else a chance to play."

 

Acknowledging the gradual improvement in his rehabilitation, Djokovic expressed optimism about his recovery trajectory, noting incremental gains in his fitness each day. While he continues to approach his training with caution, he anticipates ramping up his intensity in the coming days to gauge his readiness for the tournament.

 

Ranked world No. 2, Djokovic eyes a breakthrough in 2024 after a standout performance last year with three Grand Slam titles, aiming to add to his record 25 major trophies. His sole defeat in 2023 Grand Slams came at Wimbledon, where he fell to Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping five-set final. Wimbledon, scheduled from July 1-14, looms as Djokovic prepares to potentially reclaim his championship form on grass.
