Novak Djokovic is set to represent Serbia in the World Group I draw of the Davis Cup on September 14-15, just a week after the US Open concludes. This announcement has sparked concern among fans as Djokovic continues to compete heavily following a knee injury.

Djokovic sustained a meniscus tear in his right knee during the French Open and underwent surgery after withdrawing from the quarterfinals. Despite doubts about his participation at Wimbledon, he managed to recover and reach the final, where he was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz.

Shortly after Wimbledon, reports emerged that Djokovic would compete in the Davis Cup against Greece in Belgrade, potentially facing Stefanos Tsitsipas. This news has left fans surprised, given Djokovic’s already demanding schedule, which includes the Olympics, the US Open, and now the Davis Cup.

One fan expressed concern, stating, “Djokovic is destroying his body. He played Wimbledon on one leg and lost. Maybe an early exit is loading in Paris Olympics too. He should heal his knee injury first.” Another fan echoed this sentiment, calling the decision a “big mistake.”

Critics have questioned Djokovic’s decision-making, with one fan remarking, “Is he for real? Making questionable decisions since last year and still repeating them this year.” Another added, “Omg he should stop playing those useless tournaments.”
Despite these concerns, Djokovic remains focused on his goals for the year. Following his loss to Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, he emphasized the importance of performing well at the upcoming Olympics and US Open. “The Olympic Games and the US Open are the two big goals for the rest of the year for me really. I’m hoping I can be at my best in those tournaments,” Djokovic said during a press conference.
The tennis event at the Olympics is set to begin on July 27, with the US Open scheduled to start on August 26. Fans and critics alike will be closely watching Djokovic’s performance and physical condition as he navigates this grueling schedule.
