JUST IN: Novak Djokovic shares huge news about his knee just before Wimbledon SF
Novak Djokovic has issued a very encouraging update ahead of his Wimbledon match as the Serb says he hasn’t felt any pain in his knee so far but underlines that he is remaining fully cautious and refusing to be fully convinced that it will 100 percent stay that way.
After having surgery on his torn knee meniscus on June 5th, Djokovic impressively made a comeback at Wimbledon where he has won four matches since. On Wednesday, the 37-year-old was scheduled to also play his fifth post-surgery match but it didn’t happen after Alex de Minaur was forced to pull out of their Wimbledon quarterfinal match due to injury.
Instead, Djokovic – who played his round-of-16 match against Holger Rune on Monday – got a day off on Wednesday. And when Djokovic returns to the court today to take on Lorenzo Musetti in the Wimbledon semifinal, he will be playing a match for the first time in four days.
Addressing that, Djokovic says he wasn’t happy to see de Minaur getting injured but also noted that not having to play that match helped his knee avoid extra stress.
