Djokovic has been working extremely hard on his fitness and recovery after undergoing surgery for the meniscus tear he sustained during the fourth round of Roland Garros. The former World No. 1 eventually withdrew from his quarter-final match against Casper Ruud.

Novak Djokovic, who started the second Grand Slam tournament of 2024 as the World No. 1, finds himself in a different position as the third Grand Slam approaches. This week, the Serbian shared training videos on Instagram, offering fans a glimpse into his pre-Wimbledon preparations.
Djokovic is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. Consequently, this injury abruptly ended his Roland Garros run and caused him to lose the No. 1 ranking to Jannik Sinner.

Remarkably, just over a week post-surgery, Djokovic was already back in the gym working on his fitness. In his recent social media posts, he can be seen running, doing lunges, and cautiously serving on a hard court.
Moreover, the injury has also put Djokovic’s preparations for the Paris Olympics, too, on hold. He has been officially confirmed by the Serbian tennis committee to represent his country at the Games.
