Djokovic confirmed for Paris Olympics

The Serbian Olympic Committee has announced that Novak Djokovic will compete at this year's Olympic Games in Paris.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner will be attending his fifth Olympics, having won bronze in his first appearance in 2008.

The 37-year-old underwent knee surgery last month after being forced to withdraw from the French Open due to an injury sustained during a fourth-round win, casting doubt on his chances of competing at Wimbledon and the Paris Games.

World number three Djokovic will look to end his title drought in 2024, having won three of the four Grand Slams last year, as he pursues an elusive Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, where Spain's Rafa Nadal will also compete.

Dusan Lajovic, ranked 56th, will also compete for Serbia in the July 27-August 4 Olympic tournament at Roland Garros.
