The champion of 24 Grand Slams adds more than a week of work on the London lawn, testing his knee after the operation he suffered three weeks ago to repair the medial meniscus that was injured in the round of 16 of Roland Garros.

The native of Belgrade has been able to train in the week with tennis players like Jannik Sinner, number one in the world that was the last and great test last Thursday when they shared training session at the mythical Central Court of All England Club.

They worked for 45 minutes and Sinner stayed 6-3 with the set, a day of practice that served the seven-time champion of this tournament to decide to compete in the British Major.

The current number one in the world shared his impressions about the Serbian after seeing him very closely in training and checking how he is physically and technically.
