Novak Djokovic looking ahead after undergoing knee surgery

The 37-year-old went under the knife on Wednesday after sustaining a tear in the medial meniscus in his right knee during a gruelling fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo at the French Open.

I’m still processing it all but I am happy to update you that the surgery went well.— Novak Djokovic June 6, 2024 Accompanied by a picture of the Serbian on crutches and surrounded by his team, Djokovic wrote: “In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match.

“I’m going to do my best to be healthy and fit to return to the court as soon as possible. My love for this sport is strong and the desire to compete at the highest level is what keeps me going.” Two medical experts consulted by the PA news agency both agreed that Wimbledon, which begins on July 1, will almost certainly come too soon but that Djokovic has a chance of being fit for the Olympics in Paris later next month.
