Novak Djokovic cruises through Wimbledon with a gray sleeve on his knee, defying injury worries and strict dress codes.

Novak Djokovic, the seven-times Wimbledon champion, showed no signs of knee worries as he effortlessly advanced into round two of the prestigious tournament. Despite undergoing knee surgery in early June, Djokovic dismantled Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva in a commanding 6-1 6-2 6-2 victory. The world No 2, visibly relieved about his knee's performance, expressed his satisfaction with his progress on the court. In a surprising turn of events, Andrey Rublev's racket smashing incident in a four-set defeat stole some of the spotlight during Djokovic's match.

As Djokovic continued his winning streak, he ran into a slight obstacle when he struggled to find a white sleeve to comply with Wimbledon's all-white policy. Opting for a gray sleeve to protect his recovering right knee, Djokovic navigated through the dilemma confidently. Sporting the unique accessory, Djokovic clinched his first-round match at Wimbledon without missing a beat, showcasing his adaptability and determination.

In a remarkable comeback, Djokovic triumphed in his first Wimbledon match since undergoing surgery for a torn medial meniscus. Despite initial injury doubts, the Serbian player proved his resilience on the court, shaking off any concerns with a flawless performance. Djokovic's return to Wimbledon marked a significant milestone in his career, solidifying his status as a formidable contender in the tennis world.

In a historical nod, Djokovic's remarkable Wimbledon journey mirrors past legends like Suzanne Lenglen, with memorable triumphs and dominant displays on the court. His ability to overcome setbacks and excel under pressure continues to captivate fans worldwide, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest tennis players in history.
