Novak Djokovic, Serbia’s tennis icon, has announced his return to form just ahead of Wimbledon 2024. Following a challenging season marred by injury, the 37-year-old star expressed relief after a successful practice match. Djokovic, known for his historic 24 Grand Slam wins, suffered a setback at the French Open due to a knee injury, which led to surgery and raised doubts about his future participation in major tournaments.
In a recent warm-up match against Daniil Medvedev at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic in London, Djokovic, though losing in straight sets, emphasized feeling no pain for the first time since his injury. “I can tell you that pain-free tennis is the best tennis,” he remarked enthusiastically, highlighting his readiness for Wimbledon. His optimism stems from this positive outcome, signaling his intent to compete vigorously in the upcoming Grand Slam event.
Wimbledon, commencing next Monday, promises intense competition as Djokovic aims to add to his impressive record at the tournament, having claimed the title seven times. His return to full fitness is crucial not only for his personal campaign but also for reclaiming his standing in the ATP rankings. With a challenging first-round match against Vit Kopriva ahead, Djokovic remains focused on showcasing his enduring skill and determination on the prestigious grass courts of Wimbledon.
Djokovic’s journey from injury to recovery underscores his resilience and commitment to the sport. As he prepares to face top contenders once more, tennis enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate witnessing his pursuit of further glory at one of tennis’s most esteemed championships.
