Djokovic Set to Compete in Paris Olympics Following Knee Surgery

The Serbian Olympic Committee confirmed on Tuesday that Novak Djokovic will participate in the upcoming Paris Games.

Djokovic underwent knee surgery after withdrawing from the French Open before the quarterfinals, expressing his intention to return to competition “as soon as possible.”

The Serbian committee announced that Djokovic has confirmed his participation in Paris, marking his fifth appearance at the Olympics.

The 37-year-old tennis star reported that surgery on his right knee “went well.”

The tennis events for the Paris Olympics will commence on July 27 at Roland Garros, the venue for the French Open.

It remains uncertain if Djokovic will be ready to compete at Wimbledon, where he has secured seven of his 24 Grand Slam titles. Wimbledon is set to begin on July 1.

Djokovic has previously won an Olympic bronze medal, which he earned during his first Games in Beijing in 2008.
