Novak Djokovic is thrilled about his Wimbledon draw for 2024.
The draw process involves officials randomly picking numbered tokens from a bag, creating the match lineup. In this year’s Wimbledon draw, Djokovic’s wishes seem to have been granted. After knee surgery to fix a meniscus tear, he needed more time to recover.
Despite the surgery being so close to Wimbledon, Djokovic is already in London and has even beaten Medvedev at Hurlingham Club . Signs point to him playing at Wimbledon 2024, but he hopes for an easy start to avoid stressing his knee too soon.
Djokovic’s Lucky Draw
One of Djokovic’s first wishes was about the day he would start playing. Since Alcaraz is the defending champion and in the other half of the draw, it means Alcaraz will open on Monday. This gives Djokovic an extra day as he’ll start on Tuesday.

| Novak Djokovic | 38 | 8,360 | 18 - 6 |
His first-round opponent is Vit Kopriva, ranked 123rd in the world and not known for strong grass-court performances. Fans might think this gives Djokovic an easy start .
If Djokovic wins his first match, he’ll face either Alejandro Moro Canas or Jacob Fearnley in the second round. Both players have limited experience on grass and lower rankings compared to Djokovic.
With these early matches looking manageable, Djokovic could get almost a week of recovery before facing tougher opponents like Tomas Martin Etcheverry, who might be his first seeded challenge by Saturday.
What do you think? Will Novak cruise through these early rounds?
