Wounded Djokovic looking to rebound

Three weeks after his heart-breaking French Open final defeat, Novak Djokovic is resurfacing to defend his Wimbledon title and prove that his Paris scars have healed.

The world No 1 has stayed resolutely out of the spotlight since his Roland Garros upset by Stan Wawrinka ended his latest bid to complete a career grand slam.

Even his usual prolific social media activity has been reduced to scraps with a mere half-dozen postings on Twitter, only one of which pictured him working out on a grass court.
