Novak Djokovic reveals what he will do before the 2025 Wimbledon Championship

Last year, Novak Djokovic left the Roland Garros injured after falling on several occasions during his fourth-round win against Francisco Cerundolo. After an MRI scan, the Serbian learnt that he had sustained a knee injury and that his chances of playing at the Wimbledon Championship were very slim.

Shockingly, he beat time and returned to the court at the All England Club. However, the injury forced him not to play in any warm-up tournament ahead of the 2024 Wimbledon Championship. During the aforementioned interview, he was asked whether he would play in any event ahead of the grass-court Grand Slam this time around. The Serb revealed he will be taking a break after an intense three weeks on tour:

Now I’m just thinking about taking a break, it was intense, I’ll take about a week to ten days. If I play as well as I usually do at Wimbledon, I think I have a better chance of winning on grass, the best of them, than on some faster concrete.

Djokovic transitioning from clay to grass will not be that difficult because of his over two decades of experience on tour. The Serbian legend has played 1,375 matches since turning professional in 2004. However, the end of his career is probably not far away, despite his efforts to win his 25th career Grand Slam, which will make him the player with the most major titles in the Open Era.
