Novak Djokovic Not only did he undergo surgery on a meniscal tear in his right knee in anticipation of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games he gave that impression when he withdrew in the Roland Garros quarterfinals, a day he spent undergoing arthroscopy in capital of France.
He had a goal of reaching Wimbledon, and he did. With a note. It is not enough for the level that requires a good Carlos Alcaraz in the final, yes to surpass the five previous rounds. One was less than usual because the Australian retired on the way Alex de Minaur.
He did a lot on the London grass, although he did not get the desired prize. He returned to Roland Garros with the goal of fulfilling one of his golden dreams, Olympic gold. He made bronze at Beijing 2008, failed miserably at Beijing 2023, where he became a desperate victim of Pablo Carreno in the fight for the podium.
At 37 years old, Paris 2024 should be his last Olympic opportunity. Although he remembers that “I don’t have retirement in my head, although many people want me to do it and finish an era. But it will continue as long as one of us continues,” he said.
I’m leaving Roger Federer, Andy Murray closed his career at these Games, he and Rafael Nadal, 38 years old. Both could meet again on the track in the second round of the Olympic tournament. There will be a clash of 46 Grand Slams on the center court of Roland Garros if the Serbian defeats the Australian Matthew Ebden and Spanish outperforms Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.
“It will be a spectacle, for sure, like in the old days, when we played on almost all the big tennis courts,” said ‘Nole’, looking forward to reuniting in the competition.
“I’m also excited about this possible rivalry, but I have to get over the first hurdle and do everything to get as far as possible,” he said.
“I feel better prepared than at Wimbledon,” he said. Only gold is worth it. But there is competition. If there is a clash with Nadal, it will be their 60th meeting. The most contested classic on the professional circuit, with a balance of 30-29 for the team from Belgrade, which lost in the end. Rafa took it 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 and 7-6 (4) in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2022.
