Djokovic retired at the French Open earlier this month with a torn meniscus in his right knee and has been rumored to be out of action at Wimbledon next week, although Wimbledon has named him the No. 2 seed and has a good chance of playing. Djokovic himself has also appeared to be in fine form in his last two practice bouts, once again showing his amazing resilience.
The Wimbledon tennis tournament will kick off next week, and Djokovic's participation will be one of the concerns from the outside world. He has been practicing openly with the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz in the last two days and looks to be in good form.
In the performance match, he defeated the current world No. 5 Mei in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, and looks set to play in next week's Wimbledon main draw: "I can tell you that I am very, very happy and happy, I am not in pain."
He said that he attended these training sessions because he wanted to test his recovery, and said that the test was very successful: "I spent a lot of time doing rehabilitation exercises in the three weeks after the surgery. I've always wanted to give myself a chance to go to London and there's no doubt that my surgeon has been the MVP for these three weeks and I'm trying to face it every day and see how much I can recover."
Djokovic also thanked the many athletes who helped him, including Fritz, Wawrinka and the famous footballer Ibrahimovic: "They were very kind to share their experiences and contact details of people who might be able to help me."
Mei said Djokovic was in good shape, but there was a little concern about him going into the tournament: "He looks fine, you never know how he feels, and Wimbledon is a five-set grass court tournament that is not easy for the knees, so I don't know how the match will be."
After winning the Australian Open with an injury last year, Djokovic was revealed to have a 3-centimeter tear in his back hamstring, and his amazing willpower and physical endurance shocked many fans; He was diagnosed with a torn meniscus at the beginning of the month, and now he is back at Wimbledon with just three weeks in between, and his recovery is just as impressive.
Novak Djokovic is seeded No. 2 at Wimbledon and is ranked third in the men's singles title behind Sinner and Alcaraz. If he wins Wimbledon this year, it will be his eighth Wimbledon title, equalling Federer's record and his 25th career Grand Slam title.
