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. His chances of competing at Wimbledon, which starts on July 1, initially looked bleak but he has made rapid progress and had a two-hour training session at Wimbledon's Aorangi Park on Monday."I didn't come here to play a few rounds," he told the BBC."If I know I can play close to my maximum or at maximum, then I'll play. If not, then I'll give somebody else a chance to play.

"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.
