World No. 3 Novak Djokovic has shared an update on his recovery from a meniscus tear. The Serbian has been out of tennis action since withdrawing from the French Open quarter-final against Casper Ruud.

Djokovic shared an update on his Instagram, giving optimistic vibes to his fans ahead of the busy schedule of Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics. The former World No. 1 is gearing up for an exciting summer.

Many ex-tennis players believe that Wimbledon would be too early for Djokovic’s comeback. He is a seven-time champion at SW19 but lost last year in the final against Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.

The Olympics is the ultimate dream for Djokovic. The Serbian has always said that he dreams of winning the Olympic gold for his country. He lost in 2021 in the silver medal match against Alexander Zverev in three sets.

Does Novak Djokovic have a chance to finish 2024 as World No.1?

Novak Djokovic has had a horrible 2024 by his standards. The Serbian hasn’t won an ATP title until June for the first time since 2018. Moreover, he has yet to reach a final, losing in the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Monte Carlo, and Geneva.

Can he still end the season as World No.1 despite his poor performances in the first half of the season? The answer is that he has done it before. In 2018, he also went until Wimbledon without an ATP title. After he conquered his 4th Wimbledon trophy, he went on an unbelievable run, winning Cincinnati and the US Open before finishing the year as World No.1.

However, this time it’s a little different as he is out because of a meniscus tear. Moreover, he is now aging, and younger players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are starting to catch up with him.

First things first, it’s all about recovering properly and getting back on the court again before even thinking about the No.1 ranking. He has finished the year-end number 1 the most times in history and has been ranked No.1 for the most weeks in ATP history, so not being the top player in the world isn’t the end of the world for him.
