When Novak Djokovic announced that he would have held a press conference back in Belgrade after coming back from Toronto where he was supposed to play the Rogers Cup, it was clear that he was about to say something important.
As forecasted, Nole announced that he decided to skip the rest of the season to recover from his elbow injury.
What Nole said
The former world no.1 commented
“All the doctors I’ve consulted, and all the specialists I have visited, in Serbia and all over the world, have agreed that this injury requires rest. A prolonged break from the sport is inevitable. I’ll do whatever it takes to recover.
I will use the upcoming period to strengthen my body and also to improve certain tennis elements that I have not been able to work on over the past years, due to a demanding schedule. Five months may seem long from this point, but I’m sure they will pass quickly because there is so much I want to do. Another important moment is coming; we will become parents for the second time.
My wife Jelena and I are expecting our second child, and we are preparing to welcome a new family member. These are things that fill me with greatest happiness and delight. I’m confident I will be ready for the start of the new season.“
Good luck.. and come back strong!
