Wimbledon 2024 is a nightmare for the All England Club, which has been scared for weeks due to the absence of Novak Djokovic due to knee surgery and left Rafael Nadalwho decided to continue on clay after Roland Garros thought about the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Seven-time champion Djokovic assured that his right knee “is responding, I feel good. Not to show that I can play two games today, but I want to fight for the title,” he said after trying some day in London.
On Saturday it was the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, one of the candidates for any Grand Slam tournament to be held, which raised the alarm. An injury to the teres major muscle in his right shoulder put his participation at Wimbledon in check. “It’s a rare injury, maybe I’m only the third tennis player to have an illness like that. It’s like nothing, but you’re serving and you feel so much pain,” he lamented.
He will decide whether he will appear in court this Monday depending on how he feels and how he has responded in the past few hours. “I keep hoping I can do it, but I don’t know.”
Twenty-four more hours were needed to decide who was the all-time champion, ending a drought that dated back to the 1920s. The Scotsman Andy Murray take over from Fred Perry as the British champion of Wimbledon, where he won in 2013 and 2016, in addition to winning gold on the same grass at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
He entered the singles team as well as the doubles, thanks to an invitation from the organization to the Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie. But that doesn’t mean he will play. “I will decide on Monday night, after the training trial,” said the man from Dunblane, at 37 years old, who is exhausting his professional career, which could end at any time. In view of the Paris Games.
Pain in his leg a few weeks ago led to the discovery of a cyst in his back, which landed him in the operating room on June 22. “Tough ten days,” said Murray, of his battle not to miss the Wimbledon. Knowing the severity of the disease, she underwent two major hip surgeries, in 2018 and 2019, to give herself a few more years of tennis.
“I have improved in recent days, but I am not one hundred percent in terms of sensations in my leg. I still have the stitches in my back. It will be the movement of the leg that will decide if I play in singles. In doubles I don’t have to cover so much space,” he said.
He did not easily cross the singles, because the Czech was waiting for him Tomas Macac.
