Novak Djokovic played with a three-centimetre (1.2 inches) tear in his hamstring during his run to a record-extending 10th Australian Open title, tournament director Craig Tiley said on Wednesday.
MELBOURNE : Novak Djokovic won a record-extending 10th Australian Open title on Sunday despite battling an injury that would have forced most players to quit, his coach Goran Ivanisevic said, adding that the world number one kept getting "crazier and crazier".
Roger Federer on Thursday announced his retirement from tennis after a career which saw him win 20 Grand Slams, 103 career titles and be crowned one of the greatest players of all time. AFP Sport looks at the plaudits he received during his career:
John Isner says it is «complete lunacy» that Novak Djokovic is currently unable to compete at the US Open this year due to his vaccination status. The 21-time Grand Slam champion has reaffirmed that he won’t be getting vaccinated in order to enter the US to play at Flushing Meadows, despite missing the defence of his Australian Open title, and the Indian Wells and Miami Open earlier this year because of his status. Ad/> Djokovic's coach Goran Ivanisevic believes there is «zero hope» President Joe Biden will «change the rules» around vaccination before the Grand Slam gets underway on August 29.
There is “zero hope” that President Joe Biden will “change the rules” on the current entry requirements to the United States to allow Novak Djokovic to play in the US Open, according to his coach Goran Ivanisevic. The United States government have introduced legislation which states that those of non-US citizenship coming into the country must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Ad/> Djokovic has reaffirmed that he won’t be getting vaccinated in order to enter the US, despite missing the defence of his Australian Open title and the Indian Wells and Miami Open earlier this year because of his status.
Novak Djokovic has endured an «unfair year», his coach Goran Ivanisevic has claimed while making it clear that his charge «is still hungry» for more success. Fresh from his seventh title at Wimbledon, Djokovic said he was waiting «hopefully for some good news from USA», but given his anti-vaccination stance, it appears very unlikely that he will receive any.
Goran Ivanisevic has hit back at critics who suggest that Novak Djokovic is the leader of an anti-vax movement. Djokovic was deported ahead of the Australian Open in January due to his unvaccinated status. Australia's Immigration Minister Alex Hawke argued his decision to cancel Djokovic's visa for a second time was due to fears the Serb would stoke anti-vax sentiments.
Novak Djokovic needs some time off to recover and prepare “physically and mentally” for Wimbledon, but his coach Goran Ivanisevic is confident he will come back stronger after a tough defeat at Roland Garros.
