Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic has decided to operate on the meniscus of his right knee, writes the Italian "Gazzetta".
The winner of 24 Grand Slams will undergo surgery today, the media reports.
Djokovic injured his knee in the Round of 16 match at Roland Garros, against the Argentinian Fransisco Serundolo.
Although he was injured in that match, Djokovic persevered, eliminated the Argentine and advanced to the quarterfinals, but then retired.
"Gazzetta" writes that Djokovic's recovery will last at least three weeks, which means that the Serbian tennis player will almost certainly miss Wimbledon, which is scheduled from July 1 to 14.
Djokovic's goal is to recover in time for the Paris Olympics, which begin on July 26.
Djokovic's dream is to win a gold medal, and that's why he will do everything to be ready for the world's biggest show of athletes.
