Debate has been rife regarding Novak Djokovic, ever since his injury at Roland Garros.
After all, despite the nature of his ailment, a torn meniscus in his knee, many still believed that he would somehow feature at Wimbledon.
Those who were not quite as positive suggested that the Olympics marked an ample return date, whilst the more cynical commentators feared for his participation throughout the entire summer at all.
However, despite Djokovic having now travelled to Wimbledon, one pundit is still sceptical about whether he will compete in the tournament or not.
Greg Rusedksi makes Novak Djokovic injury prediction
Taking to X, it was Greg Rusedski who offered his verdict on the Serbian on this occasion, predicting whether the world number two would be fit enough to play and perform.
Many have had their say, with Andy Roddick commenting on Djokovic’s Wimbledon chances earlier this week.
However, the former world number four was not quite as positive as the American, writing: ‘I will be very surprised if Novak plays Wimbledon. Great to see him on the court practising ,but feel this is more of seeing where he is at and getting good preparation until he is 100% .’
This comes after Rusedski revealed what he had heard from within Djokovic’s camp ahead of his travels to SW19.
Novak Djokovic is proving to be superhuman
In a week whether Andy Murray’s presence at Wimbledon was debated due to injury, Djokovic has proven why he is a level above the rest, with a feat of superhuman physicality to even be back on the court now.
And whilst he may well still pull out of Wimbledon, to see him prancing around the All England Club, performing defiant interviews where he professes to feeling great is ridiculous.
It is worth remembering that this same month he tore the meniscus in his right knee and underwent surgery to rectify the situation.
Now, just over three weeks on, he is back on court.
Were he to win Wimbledon, at 37 years old, it would certainly be one of the most remarkable achievements in sporting history.
However, he will still face stiff opposition from the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, both of whom have already won Grand Slam titles this year.
Regardless, just his mere attendance at the event is superhuman, and deserves praise. What an athlete.
