Novak Djokovic, now sounding the alarm: what happened

Trouble for djokovic on the eve of the start of the Australian Open

More trouble for Novak Djokovic just hours before the start of the Australian Open. After the chaos of 2022 that ended with his expulsion, this year what worries the Serbian’s fans are the physical problems that are plaguing him on the eve of his debut in the first Slam of the season.

After Saturday, the former world number one also missed Sunday’s training due to some problems that threaten to jeopardize his tournament: the player has discomfort in the posterior muscles of his thigh, and he decided not to risk it.
