World No. 3 Novak Djokovic will represent Serbia at the upcoming Paris Olympics, the country’s Olympic Committee has announced.
The 37-year-old’s participation had been in doubt after he tore his meniscus during his fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo at the French open earlier this month.
The injury meant Djokovic had to pull out of his quarterfinal clash against Casper Ruud and he subsequently underwent successful knee surgery.
Having had a very illustrious career, Djokovic has picked up a record 24 grand slam singles titles and broken countless other marks, but an Olympic gold medal has so far eluded him. In his four previous Olympic appearances, Djokovic picked up the bronze medal at Beijing 2008 after beating American James Blake
Djokovic will be joined on Team Serbia by world No. 56 Dušan Lajović.
