Djokovic will only play at Wimbledon if he can 'fight for title'

LONDON — Novak Djokovic says he will only play at Wimbledon if he is fit enough to 'fight for the title' but his recovery from knee surgery is going well.The seven-time champion at the All England Club was forced to withdrew ahead of his French Open quarterfinal against Casper Ruud earlier this month after tearing the medial meniscus in his right knee.

'I really will only play if I know I am in a state which is good enough to go far in the tournament and fight for the title, so that's the condition.'Rehab is going in the right direction every single day, a few percent better and better. That's what's giving me hope and encouragement to keep going.'I'm taking things gradually. I'm not pushing myself yet 100 percent but I'm hoping that's going to come in the next few days.
