Novak Djokovic has said he will play at Wimbledon only if he feels can 'fight for the title' as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.

Novak Djokovic has said he will play at Wimbledon only if he feels can 'fight for the title' as he continues his recovery from knee surgery. The record 24-time Grand Slam champion, and seven-time Wimbledon winner, tore the medial meniscus in his right knee at the French Open, pulling out of the quarter-finals before having surgery on June 6.

'I'm taking things gradually. I'm not pushing myself yet 100 per cent but I'm hoping that's going to come in the next few days.' He added: '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.' Wimbledon runs from July 1-14, with the draw being made for the men's and women's singles on Friday June 28.
