Djokovic to play Wimbledon warm-up at Queen's Club

Wednesday, 13 June 2018


LONDON, June 12 (AFP): Novak Djokovic will aim to get his troubled season back on track at Queen's Club after the former world number one accepted a wild card entry into the Wimbledon warm-up event.
Djokovic is a lowly 21st in the ATP rankings after the struggling Serb's wretched run continued with an embarrassing French Open quarter-final defeat against Italian journeyman Marco Cecchinato last week.
Following that stunning setback, the 31-year-old had said he might miss Wimbledon, which gets underway on July 2, in a bid to give him time to refocus following a turbulent year.
But Djokovic, a three-time Wimbledon champion, has instead decided to start his preparations for the grass-court Grand Slam earlier than usual by entering the prestigious Queen's tournament, starting in west London on June 18.
