Novak Djokovic looks ready

In a recent interview with Tennis365, Aussie ace Alex de Minaur reflected on Novak Djokovics injury: "Im not surprised, hes superhuman. Hes done amazing things before and I hope hes back and ready for Wimbledon. Im pretty sure hell come back playing at the highest level and as if he never had an injury. Thats what we expect from Novak and we shouldnt be surprised at anything he does".

In the fourth round the level of demand for Djokovic increases since in the panorama appears the name of the number 15 of the world, Holger Rune, and the number 21, the Russian Karen Khachanov. In the quarter-final round, Djokovic could collide with one of the most fit and dangerous rivals on this surface, the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, who comes from playing the final of the ATP 500 of Halle with Jannik Sinner.
