Novak Djokovic will make his fifth Olympic appearance this summer in Paris, Serbian officials confirmed Tuesday.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion had surgery earlier this month to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

The injury forced the 37-year-old Djokovic to withdraw from the French Open quarterfinals. It is not yet confirmed whether he will miss Wimbledon in July.
