Novak Djokovic is scheduled to play on the second day of Wimbledon 2024. This is a miracle in itself. Just three weeks after having surgery on his torn meniscus - a recovery that normally takes three to eight weeks for the normal person and longer for a professional tennis player - he won't miss any scheduled matches.
