A torn meniscus at this year’s French Open might threaten the end of Novak Djokovic’s legendary tennis career. However, as Wimbledon nears at the start of next month, Djokovic’s status is still in question, and he doesn’t appear to be stressed about it.
How could he be if he was in attendance at Euro 2024 all the way in Munich?
With Serbia’s tournament chances on the line against Denmark on Tuesday, the country flew in Djokovic, arguably the greatest athlete in the small nation’s history, to try and rally the troops. After Djokovic practiced earlier in the day, further addressing his health for Wimbledon will have to wait for now.
Given Djokovic’s legendary status amongst his countrypeople, having him around is not a bad bet at all:
Pre game talk with our National Team coach Dragan Stojković Piksi. This game has to be our for the taking!
No better motivation than this!

Barring a win over Denmark with impossible on-paper odds, the Serbians will likely be done in Euro 2024. Having Djokovic around as a good-luck charm really might swing those odds.
