The suspense didn’t last long. When the top seeds for the Wimbledon draw were announced this Friday in London, it was clear that if he were to appear, Novak Djokovic’s name would come in 2nd, after Jannik Sinner’s. Bingo. The Serb, who has embarked on a rapid rehabilitation after his meniscus injury at Roland-Garros, has definitely not given up on the idea of defending his points on the English grass. The latest rumors pointed to a participation, and now they have been confirmed.
This week he trained with Jannik Sinner. Their practice match ended at 6-3 for the Italian in the first set, and 2-1 + break in favor of Nole in the 2nd. The signals sent by the Serbian are therefore positive a few days before the start of the tournament.
Alcaraz and Sinner in the same half of the table
That was the good news. The bad news concerns the potential final of the tournament. As at Roland-Garros, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have fallen into the same part of the draw and will cross paths – assuming neither loses by then – before this major final that all tennis fans are waiting for.
