Tennis: Serbian star Novak Djokovic has trained just weeks after meniscus surgery in a bid to return to the grass courts of Wimbledon.
The grass continues to prove greener in England for Australia ’s best performers with another quartet of players hitting peak form days out from the start of Wimbledon, with the reemergence of Alex Bolt in particular a triumph to behold.
The South Australian veteran is ranked 234 and was only an alternate for the qualifying event but, after a slot opened just ten minutes before his opening match, the big-serving left-hander has turned back the clock and will play in his third Wimbledon. “It means so much to me. You really work for these moments and to be able to walk through those gates being in the main draw is something I’ve dreamt about my whole life,” she told tennis.com.au
The 28-year-old is bidding to make his second ATP Tour final after reaching the decider in Atlanta just under 12 months ago and will play top American Taylor Fritz, the man who denied him in that decider. “I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I’m going to be able to and I’ve earned that right to do that.
Djokovic said he was “feeling good” after hitting with world No.1 Jannik Sinner on Friday how he was feeling and gave a thumbs up when asked if he would be in the draw.
