Tennis Rumor: Insider Claims Novak Djokovic’s Super-Human Recovery With Sharp Focus on Wimbledon Return

Novak Djokovic fans finally have something to keep their heads up. The Serb recently had to undergo surgery on his knee because of the meniscus tear. While the clay court season didn’t bring him anything but a terrible injury, everyone is anticipating his entry on the grass courts, especially in Wimbledon. For those who whispered wishes to see him back soon enough, the urge seems to be heard.

Seeing Novak Djokovic walk out of the court in pain was hard for every tennis fan. Even after knowing that the injury required nearly 3-4 weeks of complete rest, fans continued to anticipate his entry in Wimbledon. After a few days of silence, a rumor finally made its way on social media, offering fans a sigh of relief.

Renowned journalist Craig Shapiro mentioned the fact that Nole finally gathered his spirits lately to step back and hold the racket once again. Although the recovery phase for his injury is decided to be quite longer than this, even the Serb couldn’t hold himself back to stand amid his family of millions. In his recent post on X, the bigwig claimed that the update comes from strong sources. “Reliable sources telling me Novak hit today for the first time since the knee procedure and is pushing hard to play Wimbledon. Let’s see,” he wrote, making Novak Djokovic’s entry in Wimbledon seem like a possible dream.

It has been nearly two weeks since the Serb announced the update of his surgery. “In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match. I’m still processing it all but I am happy to update you that the surgery went well,” he wrote, after facing a brutal meniscus tear during the fourth-round showdown at Roland Garros.

Just hours after that, Djokovic’s surgeon talked about the situation, mentioning that he would require 3-4 more weeks to be 100 percent. While that statement was a clear hindrance to the Serb’s participation in Wimbledon, the recent rumor came out a shining light for the fans eagerly waiting to see him play. Amid the doubts about his comeback on tour soon enough, the Olympic committee surprised fans with a relieving update.

Novak Djokovic’s re-entry at Roland Garros confirmed

The whole tennis world shared a strong feeling of disappointment as Novak Djokovic walked out of the court in pain. While it seemed hard to predict when he would be back or what schedule he would follow, the Serb made his Paris Olympics participation clear.

Each top-ranked ATP star has saved a slot besides their tour-level competitions. As the Paris Olympics are set to begin soon enough, it is nothing less than the nation’s call for glory. While Rafael Nadal seems determined to earn a medal in probably his last season on tour, Djoker has also confirmed to join the roster.

“Novak Djokovic and Dusan Lajovic have fulfilled the conditions according to ATP ranking and confirmed their participation at the Summer Olympic Games in Paris 2024,” the Olympic committee of Serbia recently confirmed. It is time for the fans to expect positive updates from the Serb. While his determination to be a part has always defeated long recovery periods, it still remains to be seen how long he takes this time.
