Novak Djokovic is not having an easy recovery for his elbow. The former world no.1 had to take a 6 months’ break, but he was still struggling during the Australian Open.
In Melbourne, Novak lost in the 4th round to Hyeon Chung in straight set.
Eventually, Nole had to undertake a small operation to see if he could fix this problem. Recently, Nole posted a message on the social media saying that he is quite happy with the outcome of the operation.

The statement
“Hey guys, I owe you some news about my recovery. I’ve been carrying this injury for the past two years, and during this time I’ve been seeing many doctors.
Truth be told, there were many different opinions, different diagnoses, different suggestions… It was not easy for me to choose which way to go and what to do. I took 6 months off last season hoping to come back fully recovered, but unfortunately I still felt pain. I really missed competing, it’s in my blood and I had to give it a try on AO. Anyhow,
I agreed with my team that I would try different methods after I finish in Australia and a few days ago I accepted to do a small medical intervention on my elbow. It seems like I am on the good road now to full recovery.
It’s quite a journey this one, I have to say. I’m learning a lot and for that I’m grateful. I’ve always taken care of my body and looked for the most natural ways to heal, and my body has rewarded me with some incredible years on tour. I am super positive and excited to follow my recovery through so I can come back to the place I love the most. The court. I’ll keep you posted and thanks for cheering me on! “
Djokovic hasn’t specified when he thinks he will be back to competition.
Good luck!
