Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, is determined to be fit for Wimbledon despite a recent knee injury. The Serbian star was spotted practicing at the All England Club on Monday, a week before the main draw begins.
Djokovic underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee after withdrawing from the Roland Garros quarterfinals. He has been sharing videos of his progress on social media, and he appeared to be moving well during his practice session.
The 37-year-old Djokovic is bidding to win his eighth Wimbledon title, having finished runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final. Alcaraz, who won the French Open this year for his third major title, was also seen training at Wimbledon.
Alcaraz won't have the same preparation as he did a year ago when he lifted the trophy at the Queen's Club. The 21-year-old was ousted by home favorite Jack Draper in the second round of the London-based ATP 500 event.
Other notable players spotted at Wimbledon include Jannik Sinner, who recently surpassed Djokovic in the ATP rankings, and Rafael Nadal, who is seeking his third Wimbledon title.
Wimbledon qualifying began on Monday at Roehampton, with the main draw set to start on June 27.
