Gilles Simon about Novak's injury on AO23

[AO13]

Could it be possible that Simon also faked his injuries? Or is he telling the truth? Many people suggest Djokovic faked his hamstring injury in order to, I don't know, soften the opponents maybe? Get them a little bit careless?

In his show on Twitch, Gaël Monfils invited Gilles Simon to speak about the controversy surrounding Novak Djokovic's injury at the Australian Open.

As usual, Gillou gave us a very personal analysis of the situation but not meaningless.

“Me too, I happened to play injured, I was on crutches the same morning and I managed to reach the 3rd round or the round of 16, because it was quite simply my level! His level is winning Grand Slam tournaments”, explained the Frenchman with a touch of humour.

In the battle of young guns at the US Open 2005, Djokovic came out on top to defeat Gael Monfils 7-5,4-6,7-6(5),0-6,7-5. In the match Djokovic took a number of timeouts and later agreed the timeouts helped him. Monfils appealed to the umpire and also said he did not know whether it was fake or real. The contest lasted for over 4 hours.

Monfils "The GREAT CHEATER"

Have you seen his recent match against Bagdhatis? After Bagdhatis won the third set, he asked the umpire for injury timeout... Then afterwards bageled Bagdhatis! Do you really think he has that injury thing or just wanted to distract Bagdhatis concentration?????!!!!!! I have never seen...

Andy Murray left kicking himself after falling for Novak Djokovic's injury antics

When Andy Murray went 2-0 up in the third set of the Australian Open, having just thoroughly outplayed Novak Djokovic in the second set tie-break, anybody familiar with the Serb could have written the script.

Even Djokovic's strongest admirers will concede that the world number one has a suspicious susceptibility to injury when on the back foot in a match - and as soon as he gets his nose back in front, the mystery ailment invariably clears up.

We've seen it time after time - as has Murray. But the Scot still let it get to him, and 2-0 became 2-2 within the space of a few minutes. Murray had his chances thereafter, but Djokovic had the momentum back and ran away with the match.

This isn't, in case you're wondering, Tramlines's opinion. (Or not just Tramlines's opinion). It's the opinion of Andy Murray himself, who was furious at himself for getting duped in his post-match press conference.

Not just Gael. Quite a few players on the tour and other have accused or suggested that Novak has faked or exaggerated injuries many times in the past. Novak had a rep for this

You're not making Djok look any better. You're just making Nadal look like a cheater as well.

 

[LaVie en Rose]

In tennis acumen for various reasons , not having proper PR being one of them ,Djokovic was always easy target , that's why he got so upset during this AO.
All of sore losers can say whatever they want, most of them are retired, or have broken bodies near retirement . No player took care of his body like Novak does , because he is so careful about what his body tells him
Actually if was Federer The God who started it and gave green light to bullies like Roddick .
That's why it's so satisfying Novak leaving his results in dust.

You sore losers can keep crying and searching who told what

What is the most important here is Djokovic integrity,Ne never went to doubt anyone health condition as he is aware he is not in anyone shoes nor negatively commented injuries of any player.
Try that!

Nadal has faked injury so many times. Just that Djokovic didn’t fall for it and finished him at RG2021.

The most blatant of the lot. Djokovic was acting like Clint Eastwood in the desert being made to walk without water by Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and then Djokovic wins something like 9 games in a row to bagel Murray in the fourth set to take the title.

Until there is even a semi-reasonable explanation on why he would fake an injury that:

happened in a 250 event when he was leading the match,
made him decide to skip training on all days off at one of his most important career Slam tournaments,
while he didn't even complain about it in second week in Melbourne when facing stronger players,

the only obvious BS is coming from you and your seething ilk.

But please, do tell us about some more exclusive locker room talk that trumps all of the logic that you prefer to ignore. His hardcore fanbase shall wait.

There's been plenty of reasonable explanations. You won't accept any of them so I won't bother repeating them. It's like arguing with an anti-vaxxer or a Trump supporter. The evidence is right there and you choose to ignore it. Even definitive proof is just written off as propaganda by bitter losers.

As reasonable as saying he was planning to outlast not just Nadal but Djokovic as well?

That's what I thought. Squat. Come back when you have something actually smart to say. And no, Couacaud's alleged locker room quote or a random opinion from world number 1783 that you coach don't qualify.

Extremely funny that the article goes on to say...

"That’s what I’m most disappointed about. I’m frustrated at myself to let that bother me.
