Djokovic explodes at the Australian Open: “My injuries are only suspicious; when it happens to others, they are victims”

Novak Djokovic is the big protagonist of this Australian Open. Both on and off the pitch, the Serb has caught the attention of the entire planet. On the one hand, he has an extraordinary performance throughout the event which makes him a big favorite and on the other hand, every time he sits down in front of the media, he leaves at least one sentence for the blankets.

The two elements repeated themselves on Monday evening in Melbourne. He first beat Alex De Miñaur 6-2, 6-1 and 6-2 in the round of 16 and then strongly criticized his detractors in a press conference. The latter after constant questions about his left leg injury in the first big game of the year.

“I leave the doubts to these people. that they doubt Only my wounds are suspected. When other players get hurt, they are the victims, but when it’s me, I pretend. It’s very interesting…I don’t feel like I have to prove anything to anyone.” exposed the former world number one.

A sentence that even deepens:I don’t need to prove anything to anyone, but I have medical evidence, from today and two years ago. I have very clear MRIs and ultrasounds. I don’t know if I’ll show it in the documentary they’re doing about me, it depends on how I feel, but I don’t care what people think “, he finished.

But Djokovic did not stop there. He also touched on one of the great truths he has been exposed to over the years. The differences between him, Federer and Nadal. Although the three of them are at the top of tennis, the Serb has always been taken by the role of antagonist. Something that has obviously also been supported by the constant controversies he has had.

“Around me there is a story that is radically different from that of other tennis players, but that only gives me strength, it motivates me even more to try to be the best in history, so I don’t can only thank you concluded the nine-time Australian Open champion.
