Over the past month, tennis fans have closely followed the Novak Djokovic's recovery from knee surgery. Djokovic has shared videos of his workouts and traveled to London before making his decision to play at Wimbledon.

However, the 24-time Grand Slam champion left the All England Club on Tuesday morning. Luckily, it was not caused by a serious matter. Djokovic made the quick trip to Munich, Germany, to support Serbia in Euro 2024.

Djokovic should be back on the practice courts by tomorrow and will soon decide whether to play Wimbledon.

Djokovic has already committed to playing in the 2024 Summer Olympics. That will be a quick return to the clay courts of Roland Garros where he suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during the French Open.

Djokovic has won Wimbledon seven times, including as recently as 2022. One more title at the All England Club and Djokovic will tie Roger Federer's all-time record. Last year, Carloz Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in the Wimbledon finals.

In the meantime, the tennis world will wait in bated breath to find out if Djokovic will be ready for Wimbledon, which starts this week. Tennis fans can follow Sports Illustrated's Serve on SI for all the most important news from the sport.
