London: Novak Djokovic admits a long break is on the cards after an elbow injury forced him to retire from his Wimbledon quarter-final match against Tomas Berdych. "There is a possibility that they will propose surgery, but I don't think that is good," Djokovic told the Serbian media. Djokovic had spoken to medical experts about the elbow problem before Wimbledon and was told surgery was an option. Asked what he would do to finally resolve the nagging injury, Djokovic had admitted he wouldn't rule out an operation. With the US Open just six weeks away at the culmination of the American hard-court swing, Djokovic doesn't have long to return to full fitness.
