Former German tennis player and coach Boris Becker had a two-word response to the latest news about Novak Djokovic reaching Wimbledon, days before the tournament. Earlier this month, the Serbian had suffered a horrible fall during the fourth round of the French Open.
While reaching for a shot, the Serbian fell, which he later revealed, was a meniscus tear, and pulled out before his quarter-final match against Casper Ruud. Immediately afterwards, Djokovic was operated on in Paris, followed by a quick rehab session.
He started on crutches but soon was able to walk without it. Soon, the Serbian posted a video on his Instagram about his training, doing proper fitness, and hitting the court. The recovery process was estimated to take around three weeks, meaning that he would have to miss the Wimbledon.
However, recently, reports showed that Djokovic will be making a trip to Wimbledon in a couple of days, getting the fans excited. There is no official confirmation from him or his team, but it is known that the Serbian will test himself if he can play before making a final call on his participation.
Even legendary coach Boris Becker seems excited about this news. “Fingers Crossed,” Becker had posted on X, expressing his excitement. With the Paris Olympics, almost a month away, it is unlikely that Djokovic would risk his body at Wimbledon but nothing has been known officially.

2024 is a huge year to be a sports athlete as it is the year of the Olympics and the players would be desperate to play and win medals for their country. Out of many, even Novak Djokovic has marked his calenders and set goals to win a gold for Serbia.
Throughout the year, Djokovic had revealed time and again about prioritizing the Olympics this year, but recently suffered an injury that would have kept him out of the games. However, he recently revealed an important decision regarding the Olympics.
According to the Serbian media, Djokovic would only be playing in the Singles tournament to take care of his body as well. Initially, the Serbian had decided to play both singles and doubles but has now opted out of doubles and will focus on that one gold medal this year.
