I really don't want him to rush anything. I understand it is Wimbledon, but I really want him to be at his best for the Olympics.
I think he wants to tie federer's record, that's probably the only thing that would make him jeopardize his chances at the olympics
@@michaeld.3931 he can have a chance at another Wimbledon, but Paris is his last chance for the Olympic gold.
@@a_l_e_k_sandra It will be in the humid summer in Paris. And it isn't ATP and the committee won't give him preferences to night sessions. Recall the match in cincy when he came back and beat Alcaraz after the sun sets? And it will be the best of 3 in the olympics and another match like against Lorenzo or Cerudolo would have been over if it had been the olympics.
@@rksleung his injury is 1-2 months of recovery, its impossible to play wimbledon and olympics, yet he will manage both, how? steroids?
Novak knows the best.
Joker is close to retirement
With Djokovic's demands, maximum level means playing for the title and I don't see that
Let's go novak Djokovic ❤
Wish all a goodluck wimbledon🌱🎾✨️
I don’t think he should play, he is rushing this whole knee recovery. Rest Nole and then go win the Olympics!!
Better for Novak to play in Wimbledon and pull out at the first sign of trouble, still should be able to make the Olympics.
@@Pgr-pt5ep
And steal that opportunity from someone else? No...
Djokovic will not end Wimbledon and he will not win the Olympics. His time is up just se the facts... No titlein 2024 not even a final.... And that was nole before an injury on his most valuable ability... Movement.
@@leachrinsinte983If it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't mean it won't happen in two weeks or a month. He is the best player of all time, a man who won 3 GS titles last year alone.
I agree totally with you
Thanks for the update Cam
The mind is very strong but body is not ready yet
The body is actually burnt out already.
Rule No.1 never doubt goats
You keep telling yourself that fangirl. Novak is burnt out.
@@mars27970so who wins Wimbledon?
I trust him to do what's best. He's super human and has a history of accomplishing the impossible.
I think this year proves he is not super human. Its the end of June and he hasnt won a title yet.
Superhuman? A tennis player who's burnt out??? Even Rafa who played all his life with a disintegrating foot bone with pain and many other injuries is superhuman. Clown.
@@michaeladkins6 Interesting how people can easely write him of...🤔
Many moons ago some tennis fans in YTube suggested Djokovic skip the Tokyo Olympics to focus on the US open since he had already won 3 Slams in a row. Winning the US open would mean the 1st ever calender GrandSlam in the modern era for men. Concerned tennis fans noticed Djokovic looked a bit drained and the interval between Tokyo Olympics and US open was too short for full recovery. Djokovic took the gamble and lost in the US open finals.
Fast forward to end of June 2024, Dokovic is in a bigger predicament, trying to compete after knee surgery. I have to agree with well meaning tennis fans that focusing solely on the Paris Olympics is a far more prudent option, it is afterall the best of 3 sets, and the next Olympics will be 4 years later.
It will be wise decision not to play..
Hope he withdraws before the draw if he's not playing. We don't want Sinner and Alcaraz in the same half if it can be avoided.
Best reply. 👍
we all need to use our manifesting powers
Well said
You know, he doesn't care... he's only interested in being in the center of attention through understatments and simulations.
He should play Wimbledon. And the USOpen. Because honestly, who gives sh*t about an Olympic medal in one´s tennis career? The number of Slams are the real McCoy in tennis and Wimbledon is obviously and by far the most important Slam. Olympic Games is a tournament that is very important though for a huge range of other sports that almost never get a lot of attention, like swimming, running, gymnastics, volleyball, waterpolo, handball, basketball, pigeon shooting, pentathlon, plunging and ... in 2024 there´s even break dancing! Believe it or not! Nobody cares if Sampras, Borg, Agassi, Becker, Lendl, won an Olympic medal or not. Actually only Nadal fans care, which I can understand because Nadal has won a gold medal but really, nobody else. So I don´t understand why Djokovic wants a gold medal so much when he has 24 Slams.... it doesn´t make a lot of sense to me.
Very well said! I totally agree- you nailed it here. The Olympics pales in significance next to the Slams. The Olympics are for all the sports you mentioned and then some- but definitely not tennis!!!
He does🤷♂️
@bolder2009 yes- because so much pressure seems to be put on him by his country, which , I believe, has never won an Olympic gold
He didn't reslly want to play Davis cup either
@@johannsmith5697 Djokovic actually does like to play for his country but I think Slams are far more important.
As much as I would love him to play I would painfully have to say he should skip Wimbeldon and go for gold. That's his main objective for 2024. It's the one thing missing from an all-time best resume.
Fair enough. Too bad he didn't have the surgery right after the Aussie Open. He would have had several months to recover for clay and grass.
Exactly what I was wondering (in hindsight). Glad someone pointed it out
The only pertinent question is if he will make that decision before the draw. If he plays, Alcaraz and Sinner could end up on the same side of the draw, depriving us of the wished for final.
The actual dream would be to have a maximized Djokovic in the final against either of these guys!
There's a fat chance of that. Hog and stay in the news at all costs is his current motto.
@ricklee5845 Who actually wants a final without Novak if there is the slightest chance? And, doesn't he have every right to work hard to participate within his own profession? He's an elite... It's not their fault that the media obsesses over his Nadal's every breath... Maybe they should try well-rounded coverage of tennis news overall and not be so celebrity struck. Anyway, Novak withdraws before the draws, as he has done in the past. As he stated, if he can't play, he's happy for another to have their chance.
That's not Djokovic's probkem- it's Alcaraz who messed up.. He failed to defend his title, so he does not deserve to be #2. He may, after Wimbledon , but Dtaper beat him at Queens, so more power to Draper and less to Alcaraz
@@ricklee5845 you have Djokovic Derangement Syndrome
I think Novak said it himself the best, for me, there is no reason to speculate. If he plays practice matches and feels good about his game, he will play, if not, he won't. We just have to be patient and see 😁 I would love to see him play only if he is ready, just not sure how he can be...
Djokovic not speculating? - That's like saying cows don't eat grass.
@nat he is only playing tie break sets rn maybe tomorrow that changes but today was 2 TB
@@ricklee5845 I said there is no reason for us to speculate, not Novak- read the comments properly, lol
He loves the drama
He's playing
He already said before the draw.
Win wimbledon and the gold then take the rest of the season off. Only Goatovic knows what best. Idemo Nole🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎯
If he wins wimbledon, he may qualify for the ATP final again. That Torino court is made for him. Almost like speed at the carpet.
If he says he's healthy and ready to compete, I believe him. You people are scared of word surgery, it doesn't have to be major. Nole probably needed just small medical intervention, plus his body recovers probably way faster than others.
Nole is hungry. He needs a big title as soon as possible that will boost his confidence for the Olympics.
What if he gets reinjured himself and compromises his chances for Olympic gold? Well, everybody can get injured anytime and anywhere. That's the risk he is willing to take.
He will win Wimbledon
He won’t.
Unless Neewack plays Wimbledon, my bets on Sinner. Hopefully Neewack will be alright.
Djoko won't win any GS and will not partecipate at the ATP Finals this year, please make screenshot of this comment.
I can only see him not entering Nitto... But he might win 1 gs@@jackname49
No chance
Whether he will play, not whether here will play.
Weather her bill pay. Did you mean that?
Na, I think you called it Cam
Double the Stem Cells , Double the Recovery
His priority will be playing the Olympics. Playing at SW19 WIll have much needed practice
Nole ready to join Rafa. It’s all over. No wimby no Olympics. Same injury that took out Roger. Bye bye last of the big three
Novak is a great player.
He can do wonders ❤
In America we have a saying, “Either sh*t or get off the pot”. The draw is in a couple of days what does he hope for? He’s been a pro for how many decades? It’s a shame.
he doesn’t care about withdrawing once the draw has come out, i feel like the only way he won’t play is if he doesn’t feel up for it the day of the match, other than that he’s not gonna pull out
He`s 3rd best now on current form so playing won`t win him titles if the other two above him plays as well , injured or not.
I dont care. Plenty of other tennis players in the draw. Forget ego and let nature heal you first.
in my opinion, it feels like a rash and poor decision! but, no one knows their own body better than the man himself.
Fair enough!
He should monitor the inflammation, rehab the knee and check the progress of his movement. Changing directions is brutal on the knee. I had the same knee surgery and even though the doctor said to take it easy I just couldn’t and going all out in singles tennis on hard courts is brutal. I busted it again and after another surgery I had to quit tennis.
When to already big egos take over.
Rest and Go for Olympics. Most needed singles gold medal to your career.
Why? GS is more important. Olympics is below ATP 1000 tournaments
Everyone is talking about aiming for Olympics but what if he doesn't win the gold? Then skipping Wimbledon would have seemed like a silly decision to him since he would lose out on both.
However he has zero chance to win Wimbledon. He would maybe make 3rd round, or even farther (which is almost impossible). But there's literally no chance he'll win against healthy Sinner, Medvedev or even Hurkacz.
@@martadobp7849 If Novak plays I think he can win WImbledon. I would put him as 3rd favourite after SInner and Alcaraz.
@@martadobp7849zero at Olympics too
@@silviamarelli7143 Yes, maybe. So if doctors told him, that he probably won't be 100% healed, he chose Wimbledon over Olympics.
I imagine that his Uber healthy life style makes for a faster recovery than for the not so healthy, and I am sure he got a bionic knee now😅 Joke aside, I dream he can play Carlitos in the finals, that would be extremely entertaining to see.🥰
Not gonna happen
He play without change to win again ,because dont want the final alcaraz Sinner.
The thing is he do kot need to be 100% to win wimbledon.. 55% is ok. He lost for Alcaraz for fell too much confident, he didn't expect that Alcaraz game. That is it. You will see he at the final and tge trofy.
Most of comments r positive reg NOLE but share of haters is also there,every other player's injury is genuine but when it comes champion of champions greatest of all times NOVAK,haters pounce upon like hungry beasts,well,our champ does not care one bit of bias n hatred exhibited by them.
At this stage it doesn't really matter whether he will play or not, we are getting all the drama anyway.
"Forrest Gump - Run Scene" is a video here on CZcams that illustrates correctly what's happening now in this 'Neverending Story'.
Forrest (Djokovic) suddenly stops running and one of his faithful who have been following him says:
"Quiet. Quiet - he's going to say something." ....and everybody stops in anticipation. 😮😮
Not playing
lol
Selfless Djokovic, why force himself.
I think he is asking for another easy draw like always in tournaments from last couple of years, i dont know how he gets such a easy draw everytime.
I really hope if he plays here then he should get Struff in his first or second round match and if he passes through then hurcacz before quarter final...
this guy turning into a joke and you fall for it
who cares ??
Too many to list them all
You calling yourself 'Octavian' is blasphemy!
@@ricklee5845 who cares??
Yes he will play… even if his knee is broken… 😂
He will play even if he is in the wheel chair
👎👎👎👎👎
Nah... he is just waiting for an easy draw.
At his age there are no more 'easy draws'.
i think the same, if alcaraz ends up on sinner’s side i feel like he’ll 100% play
If the English don't want him to play, he's not committed to play for anyone's sake but his own. It's for him to decide, after all? If he doesn't play, I'm sure that many of his fans in the U.K. will opt not to buy tickets at Wimbledon or even bother watching with gusto when he's not playing....
No player is bigger than Wimbledon. Alcaraz is a popular champion and others will emerge. The game moves on. I wasn't a big fan of the Sampras dominance at Wimbledon but I respected his greatness. Didn't think anyone would surpass his record at Wimbledon, especially so soon, but it happened. The big three era was an anomaly that we were fortunate to witness but it's time to move on. New and emerging talent is what the sport needs. New rivalries. New superstars.
Play, Nole. Play! 😅
Play and forget the Olympics -
not play
Djokovic has played opossum his entire career, for those who aren’t aware. Hopefully everyone who has to face him is aware of this!
That old possum ….has done this so many times….. that he is considered one of the greatest tennis players ever 😲🇷🇸😁
Less coffee mate
Roger that 🤣🤣
Nole could you stop the non sense so we get the Sinner Alcaraz final instead of semi. Seriously.
True
Play Nole. You will make it😊😊😅😅
YASSS!!!! - You'll win Wimbledon and get Gold, Silver and Bronze in singles and doubles at the Olympics! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Salute to Nole and his achievements but he is neither going to win the Wimbledon nor the Olympics. Simple.
Novak wont play.. They to fast for him the games evolved.. Even if he does hell pull out to save face.. So he dont look scared
I don't think he will play Wimbledon. Stupid think to do if he want to win the gold medal at the olympics.
Won’t win Olympics
Neewack will play and has the best chance in Wimbledon. Sinner is my #2 pick.
I don't think he will play. Rest up and aim for the Olympics, the only big title he hasn't won.
Olympics is not a big title. Its below ATP 1000
He knows he shouldn't play. That's why it's not confirmed yet. He however really wants this bad because this is probably his last chance at equalling Federer's record 8 Titles here as he will be 38 next year and who knows how long he has remaining especially now with the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner in play (no more weak era of 2014-2022ish).
F Novak!!! He aint winning anymore Grand Slams nor Olympic Gold!!!
Nole is waste fellow I am his fan but currently nole losing to minnows i lost lot of money because of nole 😡
you re not his fan, you re gambler. Go to hospital
He will not play.
lol
He needs to retire. He's busted.
Nah..
Dont play..
You wil lose in rd 4 or quarters and then you will do a federer and say I WAS INJURED..
THATS BAD..
Better rest
We all knew Fed was injured. No one beats him in straight sets at Wimbledon much less 6-0 in the final set.
@@tdane5017 yeah lost 4 finals at Wimbledon..
Injured in all..
3 against jojer..
One against Nadal..
Oops I forgot tsonga and huhu drubbing..
Plus stahoskvy ..
Anyway bye 👋
@@abeguy7981 I meant that last match mostly.
@@tdane5017 lol..
Course correction..
Had he won, he wouldn't have said that he was injured..
Nor he would've retired.
So I think it was an excuse..
Cam is surprised to see Novak on the court?? It's called a FAKE injury Cam & it's the ONLY reason he can be on the court...He is back to his usual mind games
Cam is a Shakespearean - keep that in mind!
He is a snake
More like lets go....home.
Nope! 😂 Novak is more like:"Whaat?! You thought you got rid of me??"😂😂
If he struggles to beat low ranked players when healthy, he has 0 chance of playing more than a round after surgery and no practice. Give a young player a chance, he is wasting a spot for someone more competitive.
its good that you know what is he capable for
He’s going to mess the draw up then withdraw. 🫠
😂😂😂😂
