Novak Djokovic decided to take a radical step. The worst news
According to “L’Equipe”, Novak Djokovic will almost certainly not play in this year’s Wimbledon. The injury he suffered during Roland Garros turned out to be so serious that the Serb would have to undergo surgery. His participation in the Olympic Games was also questionable.Unfortunately, the worst predictions are confirmed. The meniscus injury in his right knee, which Novak Djokovic suffered during the round of 16 match at Roland Garros against Francisco Cerundolo, turned out to be so serious that he had to undergo surgery.The Serb didn’t want to delay the procedure for a moment. He underwent it on Wednesday in Paris. Now he faces at least three weeks of rehabilitation. This means that fans will probably not see him at Wimbledon.
The Olympic Games are Novak Djokovic’s big goal
The legendary tennis player’s great goal remains the Olympic Games, but he cannot be sure of participating in this event as well. Everything will depend on how quickly his body regenerates.
Already during the match against Cerundolo, it was impossible not to notice that the Serb was suffering from health problems. However, thanks to the maximum dose of painkillers, he managed to grit his teeth and once again showed his brave character, thanks to which he advanced to the quarterfinals.
On Tuesday, he announced that he would not be able to appear in it . “It is with great sadness that I inform you that I must withdraw from Roland Garros. I played with my heart and gave my all in yesterday’s match and unfortunately due to a meniscus injury in my right knee, my team and I had to make a difficult decision after careful consideration and medical consultation. I wish the players good luck competing this week and thank you so much to the amazing fans for all the love and continued support. See you soon. With love and gratitude, Nole,” he wrote on social media.
