Other people from tennis community like Rod Laver, Juan M. del Petro, Patrick McEnroe, and Boris Becker also sent their wishes to Djokovic through twitter.
Novak Djokovic's last Wimbledon title came in 2015 after which he clinched his maiden Roland Garros title in 2016.
The Serbian player experienced a major downfall in his career due to elbow injury due to which he had to cut short his 2017 season after retiring from last year's Wimbledon
