Concerns about injuries are dismissed by Novak Djokovic following a medical timeout.
“I mean, in some of the longer matches during this tournament, it was a little annoying to me. It’s a muscular problem that required examination and treatment.
However, I suppose that the more heavily you participate in tournaments and the more physically taxing your matches are, the more you will, in a way, exacerbate the issue.
However, it wasn’t causing me too much trouble, you know. Therefore, I wouldn’t say it hindered my ability to play my game. I could still move nearly completely. Consequently, it was alright. In all honesty, I wouldn’t pay much attention to it. “”.

When Novak Djokovic suggests he could have played in his final French Open, Jannik Sinner responds.
First and foremost, we hope it’s not true because I believe he’s essential to tennis. Seeing him in the locker room and then having this energy of everything is so lovely and amazing because he is different from the younger guys and my perspective.
