‘That’s the greatness of him,’ Tennis legend Mats Wilander admits surprise at Novak Djokovic’s recovery ahead of 2024 Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic’s quick recovery from a knee injury has earned him a No. 2 seeding at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. He has defied the odds and surprised everyone, including Swedish legend Mats Wilander , to be fit for the tournament just weeks after having knee surgery.

The Serbian tore the meniscus in his right knee at the French Open which led him to withdraw from the event before his quarterfinal against Casper Ruud. After undergoing surgery in Paris, he has had an exceptional recovery in just three weeks, with many reports stating that it would normally require twice that amount of time to get back to full fitness.
