After undergoing surgery on his right knee, Novak Djokovic came to Wimbledon just eighteen days later. He spent the day hitting tennis balls on the practice fields. Less than three weeks ago, Djokovic underwent surgery in Paris to repair a damaged meniscus in his right knee. With that, the 37-year-old may be fit for Wimbledon, where he has won seven times and taken 34 of his last 35 matches.
The end of July Olympics is another goal for the Serbian, but judging on his practice on grass today, it looks like he’s going to try to be ready and take a chance to win a 25th Grand Slam beginning next week. Why bother attempt a return on grass if not? It will be necessary for Djokovic to go from clay to grass and back again. In the event that he plays, it will be interesting to see how the knee holds up against the low bounces and slippery grass.
