At the end of January, tennis player Novak Djokovic became the winner of the Australian Open. Of course, this was not news to anyone, since the Serb often wins and breaks his own records. For example, he caught up in Grand Slam victories with Spaniard Rafael Nadal. In fact, it is the Serbian who is the main favorite today, especially after Rafa unexpectedly crashed out on the second lap last year. But it cannot be said that the circumstances for Djokovic were the best.
Here we are talking about the injury of the athlete. Even during the tournament, it became known that Novak was not in his best form. And at the moment he is 35 years old, and every year it becomes more and more difficult to heal injuries. And after his victory, the nature of this injury became known. The doctors said that the athlete had a hamstring rupture of 3 centimeters. And many do not understand how the Serb was still able to achieve such results. And experts say that Djokovic is not a liar, but if everything was really that way, then he would not be able to perform at such a level. Of course, if he can handle that kind of pain, then there’s a chance he truly deserved this victory.
Novak himself gave a press conference, where he said that he had already fully recovered from the damage. The form is almost 100%, everything looks good, and the tennis player, together with the team, decided to go to Dubai. And there you need to give everything to the maximum in order to advance on the grid.
After the victory, the director of the open competition respectfully spoke about the winner. There is no doubt that Djokovic is indeed an athlete, and even with such an injury, he was able to achieve victory. And the director noted that he personally saw the pictures of the doctor, and this is true. There has been a lot of talk in the past about whether this is true or not. After all, it’s hard to believe what Novak did with such problems with the tendon. But he did everything professionally.
The coach of the Serbian tennis player was surprised no less than the others. This is the best victory of his ward, not only after what happened last year and after his return. In 2021, he was able to win with an abdominal tear, and, probably, nothing could have been worse. But it’s just incredible.
Of course, there were some negative reviews. For example, a tennis player from France – Enzo Kuako, who lost to a Serb, said that there was no injury. If the injury would really be like that, then he would simply not be able to continue the competition. None of the athletes can perform like that, being injured. So it’s hard to believe that Djokovic had an injury.
The Serb also talked about the fact that only his injuries were always in question, while other tennis players become victims. “I wonder if I’m the only one pretending? But I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Moreover, there are MRI and ultrasound data.”
