Djokovic back to practice: Will he play at Wimbledon?
The Serbian player published some images of him exercising on and off the court after his meniscus surgery.
2024 was expected to be another good year for the 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic, but it’s possibly becoming the worst for the Serbian legend.
Nole suffered some unexpected defeats since the start of the new campaign, while young stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have taken over, with victories at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, respectively.
Moreover, the Serb has been dealing with fitness issues, especially at the French Open, where he was forced to withdraw after a five-set battle win over Francisco Cerundolo, needing surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee.
“I’m going to do my best to be healthy and fit to return to the court as soon as possible. My love for this sport is strong and the desire to compete at the highest level is what keeps me going. Idemooo”, he said after his surgery.

The charismatic maestro recently published a video on social media where the Serbian returns to exercising after his injury. In the images, Djokovic is running and doing knee exercises on grass without discomfort, which means he will probably be ready for Wimbledon.
The 37-year-old player has started training on the tennis courts, in this case, on the Puente Romano Tennis Club hard courts, in Marbella, alongside his team. In the images, the player and his staff shout: “1,2,3... “Rehab!”. An encouraging way for the former world No. 1 to face the recovery process.
Besides the video, Djokovic published some comments regarding his recovery. “Tennis I missed you! We keep building day by day. Mood socks activated.” Nole warned this way he will return even stronger at Wimbledon after a 2023 full of success. The Serb wants to satisfy his titles hunger with a potential eighth win at Wimbledon, which would match Roger Federer’s record at the All England Club facilities.
