“We should be there on Wednesday,” Ivanisevic said. “In my opinion, we should not be playing the tournament because the grass at Wimbledon is very different compared to one in Mallorca.”
Furthermore, the Croat added that they need to be in London at least three days beforehand since Novak would play on Monday as the defending champion. He confirmed that they will stay in Mallorca for seven or eight days.
According to this, Team Djokovic will reach Wimbledon on June 25; the main event starts on June 28. Also, the three days there will help them get at least two practices on grass and also allow them to get accustomed to the bubble.
