Novak Djokovic, the 39-year-old Serbian tennis star, is confident of a strong performance at Wimbledon, where he is looking to bounce back from a disappointing third-round exit at the French Open. The seven-time Wimbledon champion feels 'physically prepared' after a month-long break following the French Open, where he lost to 20-year-old Joao Fonseca in a five-set duel.
Djokovic, who is seeded seventh at Wimbledon, believes that his defeat at the French Open was a 'blessing in disguise', allowing him to focus on the grass-court tournament and avoid a potentially gruelling schedule. The Serbian tennis star has not played a competitive match since Roland Garros and is pleased with his preparation ahead of the tournament.
Despite the challenges posed by the French Open, Djokovic remains an excellent mover on grass, with his ability to slide into shots and maintain balance. The 39-year-old is also confident of his past performances at Wimbledon, where he has only lost to two players since 2018: Carlos Alcaraz, who is sidelined due to a wrist injury, and Jannik Sinner, who defeated him in straight sets in last year's semi-finals.
With a semi-final rematch against Sinner potentially on the cards, Djokovic is looking to emulate his stunning defeat of the Italian at the Australian Open in January. However, the bottom half of the men's singles is likely to produce a first-time Wimbledon finalist, with Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Taylor Fritz all in contention.
