Novak Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, is back and eyeing his eighth crown after a commanding first-round win. Despite a recent knee issue, his impressive return has the tennis world buzzing. However, Djokovic expressed his apprehension about facing British players at Wimbledon due to the home crowd advantage.

In his upcoming second-round match, Djokovic will face Scottish wildcard Jacob Fearnley, ranked 271. Admitting he knows little about Fearnley, Djokovic plans to study his opponent carefully. The Serbian ace highlighted the challenge of playing against a home favorite, acknowledging the crowd’s support for Fearnley.

Djokovic, no stranger to overcoming fan-favorite opponents, is prepared to draw energy from the challenge. As the tournament unfolds, the spotlight shifts to whether young talents like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner can challenge the old guard. With Andy Roddick predicting a strong performance from Sinner, the competition looks fierce.

Can Djokovic’s experience and form propel him to another victory, or will the new generation disrupt his campaign? The answers lie on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
