“Since I'm still in the tournament, I don't want to say too much. The medications have worked. If I had lost the second set, I don't know if I would have continued the match.”Novak Djokovic had bluntly stated Tuesday after his victory over Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
Impressive to win in four sets against his young rival, the Serb nevertheless felt pain in his hamstrings in the first round, at the end of which he requested a medical time out to have his left thigh strapped. .
If he had planned not to train on Wednesday, the man with 10 titles in Melbourne was obviously planning to test himself this Thursday. But according to information from MarkDjokovic did not show up on the court he had reserved for 2 p.m.
In the hands of his physiotherapist, Miljan Amanovic, Nole has probably not said his last word. He has already triumphed at the Australian Open while injured, like in 2021 when he suffered from an abdominal tear.
-If we do not know the nature of his injury, the task seems even more immense this time for Novak at 37 and a half years old, with again Alexander Zverev and then potentially Jannik Sinner on his way.
