Novak Djokovic defeated Soonwoo Kwon in his first round match at the 2022 Wimbledon and will try to lift his first Grand Slam trophy of the season in the All England Club.
It might be up to 11 months for Novak Djokovic to play another Grand Slam tournament as currently, it seems that he wouldn't be able to enter the United States and Australia and so his next Grand Slam tournament will be Roland Garros and then next year's Wimbledon if something doesn't change. And that is exactly what the experienced Serbian is hoping for as he addressed the issue after his first round victory at Wimbledon.
"This post-Australian period of next several months was challenging emotionally for me because of a lot of different factors. In terms of my motivation on the court, fulfilling my everyday chores, trying to win more titles and be one of the contenders for more Grand Slams, it hasn’t changed much, to be honest. I try to keep it together with the team in such way where we stick to the routines that we know that work for us. Of course, coming back on the court with everything that happened in Australia, it was different. But right now, I don't feel traces of that anymore."
“I’m aware that the circumstances are such at this moment, that that’s the case, as you mentioned. Of course, I guess that motivates me more to try to make the most out of this tournament. I’m not really in my thoughts so far ahead. I’ll see how it goes, I guess, after Wimbledon. Not much time after Wimbledon before US Open. I’m hoping some things can change and that I’ll be able to go and compete. I would want to. But it is what it is at the moment. My thoughts and attention is here.”
