Novak Djokovic prepares for Wimbledon after French Open exit
Summary

Novak Djokovic aims to continue his career resurgence at Wimbledon following an unexpected third-round exit at the French Open. He expressed confidence in his physical condition and hopes to peak during the tournament, particularly after a draining loss to Joao Fonseca. With seven Wimbledon titles, Djokovic's experience on grass may serve him well, despite recent struggles. He is seeded seventh and faces the challenge of Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, who is dealing with doubts after a collapse in his French Open match. Their potential rematch could be a highlight of Djokovic's pursuit for an 8th Wimbledon title.
