Novak Djokovic has declared he will only enter his “favourite tournament” Wimbledon if he thinks he can win a record 25th Grand Slam singles title.
And after a second session testing out his knee at the All England Club yesterday (Monday), the Serbian superstar said: “I like my trajectory so far.”
The seven-time Wimbledon champion only underwent surgery on torn medial meniscus in his right knee on June 5 after pulling out of the French Open. Skipping the grasscourt and focussing on a final bid to win Olympic gold next month seemed the safe choice.
he spent two-and-a-half hours back on the practice courts at Aorangi Park on Monday where he hit with Argentine world No.71 Federico Coria. They played two tiebreaks at the end and won one each.
Djokovic did not play at 100% but the 24-time Major champion, who wore a grey support on his right knee, was happy with his progress only 19 days after going under the knife. But like his old friend and adversary Andy Murray, he is also in a race against time to be fit for Wimbledon on July 1.
