Novak Djokovic upbeat as he practices at Wimbledon despite surgery uncertainty

admin

Novak Djokovic looked in good spirits as he took to the Wimbledon practice courts this lunchtime only 19 days on from undergoing surgery on his right knee.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion practiced with Argentinian Federico Coria and looked to be moving freely. Djokovic was, though, wearing a joint support on the right knee in which he tore his medial meniscus.

Earlier, the Serb was put through his paces in the warm-up area, with Djokovic’s backroom staff overseeing footwork drills to test his knee.

It was there he also bumped into reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz, who practiced earlier this morning, with the pair shaking hands before sharing a laugh.

Djokovic is still yet to confirm whether he will take part in this year’s Championships, which begins next week.

Tournament organisers will be keeping everything crossed that their seven-time champion does given that Rafa Nadal has already confirmed he won’t play while Andy Murray’s participation remains in doubt.

Two-time champion Murray underwent back surgery on Saturday and is now in a race against time to be ready.
