Novak Djokovic He started his 19th tournament at Wimbledon, 75th Grand Slam, as always in his life: winning, and in three sets. Defeated the inexperienced Czech Vit Kopriva27 years old and number 123 in the world, 6-1, 6-2 and 6-2 in 1h.58′.
Go to the second round, where another rookie, the British, is waiting for him Jacob Fearnley It will be part of the work of a seven-time event champion, who has twenty-four ‘big’ crowns on his record.
But at 37 years old he is living a different experience, as well as a rewarding one as he improves himself. Less than a month after surgery for a meniscus tear in his right knee, he not only made his official comeback, but also won in the usual way.
This is another challenge that ‘Nole’ has overcome, another joy. “I really tried to concentrate on the game and not think too much about the knee. Everything I could do, I did in the last three weeks with my team to be able to play here today for you,” he addressed the almost 15,000 fans which fills the center court.
You’re taking a lot of risk because it’s not just about Wimbledonbut in a few weeks, with almost no room for repairs (you never know with him, anyway), the Olympic Games will begin in Paris, with tennis players returning to Roland Garros for the occasion.
“If I didn’t take a risk in another tournament, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry, but I love Wimbledon, I want to come back here,” he stressed. He always said that his childhood dream was to win this competition.
He is disciplined in everything related to sports preparation. His demand and dedication is absolute. But nothing would be possible without the intervention of Antoine Geromettathe French surgeon he trusted Novak Djokovic after consulting on what to do if he is injured in the round of 16 at Roland Garros. He left in the quarterfinals against the Norwegian Casper Ruudon Wednesday, June 5, the operation was performed in Paris.
There was a special dedication from Djokovic to the stadium doctor. “Sometimes I want to thank my surgeon for the great work done. Otherwise, things would have been more complicated to play at the highest level and avoid other major injuries,” he said.
He added that, in addition, “I was lucky not to be away from tennis for so long.” The arthroscopy worked. He came to London “and I want to go for the title.”
