Former British No.

1 Greg Rusedski believes the injury will sideline the seven-time major champion and world No. 2 for Wimbledon as well. Speaking about Novak Djokovic’s chances at Roland Garros on Off Court with Greg , Rusedski said : “With Carlos out, I don’t think Carlos is going to be back for Wimbledon this year.

I think, you know, that’s where Djokovic is thinking, okay, that’s where I want to peak. “That’s where I want to be as healthy as possible. But I’m going to try to get my reps in through Paris, maybe play a few tournaments on the grass, and then peak for Wimbledon.

Never discount him. “If Novak’s healthy and the body’s there, he can beat anybody. He’s still that good.
