NOVAK DJOKOVIC pulled out of his Wimbledon quarter-final match against Tomas Berdych on Wednesday after sustaining an elbow injury. But what is Novak Djokovic’s net worth?
Novak Djokovic is worth approximately £29.1million
Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon hopes were ended when he was forced to retire early in the second set of his quarter-final tie.
The Serb, who had treatment on his elbow at the end of the first set, trailed 7-6 (7-2), 2-0 when he decided to withdraw.
Djokovic now fears he could be out of the game for an extended period. He said: “I haven’t felt this much pain ever since I’ve had this injury. So it’s not a good sign.
“Obviously the schedule will be readjusted. I’m not thinking too much ahead because I’m not able to play.
“I’ll try to understand everything that goes around and we’ll see where I can play next.”
Djokovic’s withdrawal mean Andy Murray will remain world No.1 despite being knocked out of the competition by American Sam Querrey.
