Roger Federer: Can Novak Djokovic extend his lead at the top of the Grand Slam list?
Federer’s chances of chasing down Djokovic are, of course, null and void due to his retirement from the game. But Spanish legend Rafael Nadal remains in with a chance of catching the Serb, albeit a very minimal one.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion has opted to skip Wimbledon in order to focus on his upcoming Olympics appearance.
In Paris, the Spaniard will play doubles alongside compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, a partnership that has left many tennis fans very excited.
Djokovic’s presence at the third major of the year meanwhile remains up in the air, with the Serb having withdrawn from the French Open due to a knee injury.
Surgery was required to repair the meniscus tear, with the doctor who performed the surgery confirming that Djokovic will not be 100% fit by the time Wimbledon gets going next month.
But given his ability and determination even when not in peak physical condition, it would be foolish to rule out the Serbian star going all the way in London.
