At this point in his legendary career, it is historic every time Novak Djokovic steps on the court. That is why tennis fans all over the world have held their collective breath since Djokovic was forced to withdraw from the French Open with a knee inury.

A few days after his injury, we learned Djokovic underwent surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. Since then, Djokovic has documented his workouts and asked his peers for advice on the recovery process.

Even better, it was announced that the 24-time Grand Slam champion would play in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. However, Djokovic's status for Wimbledon remains uncertain.

BBC tennis reporter Russell Fuller reported that Djokovic will travel to Wimbledon and make a decision over the next few days. However, even if Djokovic decides to play, it will be a quick transition to grass courts.

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.
