Djokovic gets a hamstring injury in Adelaide, 9 days before AO start

[Deleted member 629564]

He hurt a hamstring in his left leg during the 1st set of the SF against Medvedev.
Took a MTO after the game #7, was forced to take the anti-inflammatories, needed to stretch a lot.

He'll be fine.

 

[Chanwan]

Nothing to see here, it actually got better during the match

 

[Hitman]

And still beat Medvedev in straights....

 

[StrongRule]

Oh yeah, his famous "magic injuries", which somehow only make him play better than before. Now you can safely bet on him winning AO.

It's usually the case with most injuries and muscle extensions, isn't it? You can use medications to help and warm it up immediately, but once it cools off, it's gonna be a lot worse. Novak's real test is tomorrow.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

He'll be perfectly fine as usual.

 

[NeutralFan]

He healed a 27 mm abdomen tear during the slam and outserved Z and Med , he got 9 days to heal.nothing to see here, just give him the trophy.

Go back to Serbia mate. Or Monte Carlo.

He is based in Spain now, not MC.

Was this a Pyrrhic victory?

how did he finish the match? Was it still bothering him?

how did he finish the match? Serving in the corners. Was it still bothering him? Yes, 50/50 he will serve and volley tomorrow to avoid additional damage to his hamstring.

He had MTO at 5-2...did some stretching between points, said he felt fine as match went on...we will see tomorrow.

If its not torn, it will be after Rafa rips it at the AO

True. But if it was serius, he wouldn't have played on.

 

[Silverbullet96]

Very worrying stuff. It's not like Djokovic is a player who has previously won a Grand Slam in which he got injured in the MIDDLE of.

 

[Humphrey20133]

Lol. Yeah, sure. He's fine, and will win the AO easily.

LOL,, he's done.. Time for Holger Rune to Rule..........................................

 

[Texas Tennis Fan]

He said in the after-match interview that it was not a problem.

I am sure instead of stretching for 2 hours a day, he will stretch for 6 hours until the AO.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Oof, hopefully it’s not as bad as Tiny Carl’s. Based on how they both slide and stop so much on HC I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Extra points.

 

[Terenigma]

Did you guys even watch the second set? He was moving around the court as good as ever, arguably better than normal in some points. I think we should watch his performance in the final before we jump to any false conclusions.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

The GOAT. Just keeps on winnin

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think he’s fine but hopefully he is extra careful in the final before AO.

Yes. Lets see how the final goes. His body will cool down after the semi, so he can see where he is at. The final will show us everything.

It seems it's still not over.

Djokovic lost sleep to deal with hamstring problem

Novak Djokovic said he worked with his physiotherapist all night to fix a hamstring issue before the Serbian beat Sebastian Korda in the Adelaide International 1 final on Sunday ahead of this month's Australian Open.

Novak "Trollovic"!

 

[Sudacafan]

He'll be fine.

He is fine. He already activated his built-in autorepair function.

 

[OldschoolKIaus]

Fake-kovic at his best. An absolute disgrace for tennis.

 

[Purestriker]

He is fine. He already activated his built-in autorepair function.

Probably won't even drop a set on his way to winning it.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Fake injury for in match MTO and sympathy/pressure release for AO.
Let the excuses start again.

 

[sportsfan1]

Injured then beats med convincingly and korda in a long 3 set match. Regardless of the injury itself, the outcome has been beneficial. These are promising signs for a dominating AO win.

Netflix movie special to follow.

 

[catskillthunder]

I've seen this movie before many times. He gets hurt during a match and then somehow raises his game to a different hemisphere. He's either a great actor, has Wolverine type healing abilities, or a hypochondriac.

 

[Kralingen]

It could be that he wasn’t faking an injury as much as he got some discomfort and wanted to address it directly before playing on. If you’re a fan of other sports such as basketball and football where guys look like they’re on their death beds and then after a TV timeout come back playing at peak intensity… this stuff is nothing new. It doesn’t have to black and white, it can be a minor thing without being totally faked.

[Humphrey20133]

When an injury actually affects him on court where he is clearly hampered, I'll believe he's injured. Until then, nope. More bs drama as usual from him.

 

[Bartelby]

That's indeed what happened in Adelaide, at least for a short while.

Yeah, no. He is fine and this whole hamstring injury stuff is simply bs. Not buying it, sorry.

Son, Djokovic is the only player in the history of sport who doesn't get affected by injury and heals like a cyborg as if nothing happened.

What happened in Adelaide, happened.
And here we are. We are in Melbourne.

 

[Bartelby]

You don't have to interest yourself in facts if you so choose.

[Bartelby]

Players usually keep the status of their bodies to themselves, so whether issues linger or not only time will tell.

“I’m just glad it wasn’t an abdominal tear.”

Today we saw twice ACTUAL injuries with Draper and Kyrgios.

"Regenerative powers", they tell that.
