Novak Djokovic’s chances of ­competing at Wimbledon further diminished after he reportedly underwent knee surgery in Paris on Wednesday, a day after withdrawing from the French Open due to a medial meniscus tear.

According to a report by the sports newspaper L’Équipe, Djokovic had surgery in France on Wednesday morning and his recovery will take at least three weeks. The seven-times Wimbledon winner is highly unlikely to compete at the championships this year, which begin on 1 July.
