In a recent interview, Novak Djokovic opened up about his increasing struggle with injuries, admitting that he has faced more physical challenges in recent years compared to the first 15 years of his career. The Serbian tennis star revealed that his body is showing signs of wear and tear as he ages, but he remains determined to continue competing at the highest level.
Djokovic’s recent injury woes came to the forefront during the Australian Open, where he was forced to retire from his semi-final match against Alexander Zverev due to a torn hamstring. Despite the setback, Djokovic has made a swift recovery and received the green light from his medical team to resume training. He is now gearing up for the Qatar Open in Doha, where he aims to reach his 100th ATP title.
Reflecting on his career, Djokovic acknowledged that injuries are an inevitable part of the sport, especially as players get older. He commented:
“There is no more rupture in the muscle, the injury is almost 100 percent repaired and I am ready to go to new work victories.
I have the green light from the medical team that I can train, that I can prepare. The tournament in Doha is scheduled for seven days now, so I’m sticking to the schedule. Thank God, I was able to recover quickly.
I’ve had a bit more injuries lately than I did in the first 15 years of my career. This probably comes with age, but my body still listens to me, I still have a burning flame and a desire to achieve and achieve new things.”
