Will Djokovic make it to Wimbledon 2024?

Fans and tennis enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if Djokovic will make it to the Wimbledon courts. His presence would undoubtedly add to the excitement and competitiveness of the tournament. In the meantime, his recovery and readiness remain the focal points of discussion in the tennis world.

However, former ATP ace Greg Rusedski believes that it will be a surprise if Djokovic joins Wimbledon. "I would be very surprised if Novak Djokovic played at Wimbledon. It’s nice to see him on the field training, but I feel it’s more a way of seeing where he is and making a good preparation until he’s 100%,” he said. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has already played two friendly sets against Argentine Federico Coria and American Frances Tiafoe.
