A legend of the tournament, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic returns to the grass courts at Wimbledon for the 21st time.
Though the 39-year-old veteran has won this grand slam many times, he hasn’t hoisted the trophy since 2022. This year, No. 7-seeded Djokovic has been drawn into the same half as world No. 1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner, which means the two could meet again in the semifinals.
With retirement looming, the Joker has few opportunities left to win another major, which means this Wimbledon holds weight. Though Djokovic’s path to victory is not impossible, he will meet some tough challenges along the way.
