Australian Open director Craig Thiley says Serbian won tournament in 2023 Novak Djokovic played with a three centimeter torn hamstring.
On January 29, Djokovic won the Australian Open for the 10th time in his career, beating Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets in the final. During the tournament, the 35-year-old Serb took several medical breaks due to a leg injury. The athlete’s coach Goran Ivanisevic said that 97% of players will withdraw from the tournament if they see the results of Djokovic’s medical examination.
– I don’t think anyone can doubt Djokovic’s athleticism. This guy had a three centimeter torn hamstring. Absolutely (I’ve seen the MRIs) the doctors will tell you the truth.
There was a lot of controversy whether he was really injured or not because it’s hard to believe he could do what he did with this type of injury. He is an outstanding athlete, he coped with this problem very professionally, – quotes Tili SEN Sportsday.
According to Tilly, this was made possible thanks to the preparation of the tennis player.
“He is completely focused on everything he does, every minute of the day. What he eats, what he drinks, when he does it and how he does it. There are no breakdowns physical or mental in his actions. He went through a lot to win 10 Australian Opens. I don’t think anyone will ever be able to repeat that,” Tili said.
Djokovic is the winner of 22 Grand Slam singles tournaments, with a total of 93 trophies to his name.
