All eyes are on Novak Djokovic and his road to recovery after having a successful surgery in Paris. The 37-year-old suffered a nasty fall in the fourth round of the French Open against Francisco Cerundolo, which caused a meniscus tear in his right knee.

Without wasting any time, the Serbian quickly underwent surgery in Paris and has been on crutches to support his knee. With the Wimbledon coming in no time, followed by the Paris Olympics, Djokovic has decided to fly back to Belgrade and undergo accelerated recovery at the Centre for Hyperbaric Medicine.

According to the latest reports, Djokovic has begun walking without crutches, although he still has a slight limp. After a 70-minute treatment, he started walking with minimal pain. If his recovery continues at this rate, the Serbian could return very soon and be fully prepared for the Paris Olympics.

His primary objective for the year was the Olympics, scheduled just weeks after Wimbledon. If all goes well, he will hope to contend for a medal for his country in the tournament. Meanwhile, Djokovic’s participation in the Wimbledon remains uncertain, with very little hope that the Serbian will recover in time to compete.

There was a certain urgency. Djokovic had to be operated on immediately. Considering the injury, I think what Djokovic did on the court was extraordinary. 99% of people would have gone to the emergency room ... I have been transparent with his team and with Novak, it will depend on how his knee reacts.
Antoine Girometta, the doctor who operated on the Serbian tennis player, told l’Equipe

Although the fans will miss the Serbian at the Wimbledon, it might be the first time since 2000 that none of the members from the Big Three will be featured at the Championships. The third Grand Slam of the year is set to begin on the first of July, featuring the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Italian star Jannik Sinner.
