Djokovic has no weakness and is looking for a Czech opponent to open Wimbledon. Will he be fit?
Unlike Federer or Nadal, his game doesn’t have a weakness. At least according to Eurosport expert Wilander. His preparation at the All England Club suggests whether Djokovic will be ready for his Wimbledon first round match against the Czech qualifier.

Djokovic with no weaknesses
Everyone wanted to play like Federer or Nadal. Djokovic’s game has never been so exceptional. Except for one important fact. The Serbian’s game has no weaknesses.
This is how Eurosport expert Mats Wilander sums up the tennis career of the current world number two. All of the Serbian tennis player’s strokes are comparable to the best and that is how he has achieved his phenomenal success.
Djokovic captured the US Open four times, the French Open was his prey seven times. The absolute king is the native of Belgrade at the Australian Open. In Melbourne, his ten titles are unmatched even by Federer and Nadal combined.
At Wimbledon, Djokovic would like to add his eighth title. The number one question is his condition after knee surgery. He had it three weeks ago.
Can the Serb make Wimbledon?
The current number two in the ATP rankings has already surprised quite a bit by coming to London. Initially, it was rather assumed that his priority would be to prepare for the Olympic Games.
However, the Serbian is already in full Wimbledon preparation. And everything is looking positive, as confirmed by his latest training partner Daniil Medvedev.
“He seemed to be fine,” the Russian tennis player expressed after the practice match. Though he adds that you never know what’s going on inside your opponent, but it seems that Djokovic will enjoy his 19th Wimbledon this year.
On the other hand, the debut at the legendary London Grand Slam awaits Djokovic’s opponent in the first round. That’s Vít Kopřiva.
The player of the second hundredth ATP ranking has passed the difficult qualification for the Grand Slam tournament for the second time this year. He performed the same feat in January in Australia.
Kopřiva put up a very good performance in the qualification and stepped perfectly towards his long-term goal of attacking the top 100 positions in the tennis rankings. The opponent for the first round is a big obstacle in this respect.
On the other hand, this match will be very special for the 27-year-old Czech. Kopřiva will definitely not forget the match against such a legend.
The fate of Wimbledon was very interesting from the Czech point of view in general. Kopřiva’s teammates Menšík and Macháč will also face attractive opponents in the first round .
