Novak Djokovic sheds light on his injury

Novak Djokovic’s condition.

News of Novak Djokovic’s injury, which had to stop his practice session on the Australian Open center court due to a left knee problem, has already made the rounds.

With one week to go before the start of the first slam of the year, the Serb shed light on his condition. “The problem is with the hamstring, the same one I had problems with last week in Adelaide. I just felt it stiffened and didn’t want to take any chances and make it worse. We played for a while, I apologized to Medvedev and he was understood the situation. I just wanted to avoid making things worse.”

Novak Djokovic, known to all as Nole is considered one of the best tennis players in history by virtue of records and titles won.

In 2021 he came close to achieving a Grand Slam, a feat achieved only by Rod Laver in the Open Era in 1969 – but was defeated in three sets by Russian Daniil Medvedev in the Us Open final.

The Serb is, moreover, the tennis player who has finished the season the most times (7) as No. 1 in the ATP ranking, as well as holding the all-time record of having spent a total of 373 weeks at the top of that ranking.
