As Novak Djokovic cleared out his locker room and made his sad departure from the French Open 25 days ago, weeks of uncertainty seemed to lay ahead. Early in his dramatic fourth round-match against Francisco Cerundolo, Djokovic slipped on the clay and tore his medial meniscus in his knee. Considering he had deliberated over his previous elbow surgery for months, his decision to immediately commit to knee surgery underlined that time was not on his side.
Instead, he is back. Djokovic has spent the past week training on the grounds, hitting with numerous top players and seemingly gaining strength. Then, on Friday, the Serb beat Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-4 at the annual Hurlingham Club exhibition.
