Novak Djokovic Set to Play at Wimbledon Despite Injury Concerns
Novak Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon champion, has been included in the draw for the upcoming tournament despite concerns over his fitness. The Serbian tennis star withdrew from the
French Open earlier this month due to a torn medial meniscus in his right knee.Djokovic, who is ranked second in the world, has stated that he will only play at Wimbledon if he is fit enough to "fight for the title". In an interview with the BBC, he said, "I didn't come here to play a few rounds. If I know I can play close to my maximum or at maximum, then I'll play. If not, then I'll give somebody else a chance to play."
The 37-year-old has a remarkable record at Wimbledon, having reached the final for the past five years. He is eager to win an elusive Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, which start on July 26.
Despite his injury concerns, Djokovic's inclusion in the Wimbledon draw is a welcome news for tennis fans around the world. His participation in the tournament is subject to his fitness level, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to compete at his maximum potential.
