Novak Djokovic Had Trouble Sleeping, Because Of His Hamstring Issue

From Novak Djokovic‘s point of view, who has been a 21-time Grand Slam champion, the Australian lead-up couldn’t have been better. 

Djokovic’s achievements: 

Djokovic is a tennis professional from Serbia. He has held the top spot in the world rankings for a record 373 weeks[7] and has finished the year as the top player a record seven times. [8] He has a record-tying nine Australian Open victories among his 21 Grand Slam men’s singles victories.

After hyperextending his left hamstring while stretching to make a forehand on Saturday, Djokovic had treatment on his left leg during the semifinal win over Daniil Medvedev.

However, in the final on Sunday, the 35-year-old played easily before he had to dig deep to avoid a match point and secure a 6-7(8) 7-6(3) 6-4 triumph.

He talked about his injury in an interview:

“I woke up all right. Went deep into the night last night with work done with the physio,” Djokovic told reporters in an interview. “Talk with the doctors, as well, of the tournament, etc. There was a lot of care going into today’s match about the hamstring. It was all right. Few times in the match I felt was tightening up the muscle, but nothing that would worry me for my performance.”

Thankfully it was nothing too serious,” he said in an on-court interview. “If it was I wouldn’t be able to continue. I took anti-inflammatory [medication] and settled in. Hopefully, for tomorrow it’ll be fine.”
