NOVAK DJOKOVIC, our tennis champion, is back in the spotlight, but not for winning – for what hurts him the most: injuries! After losing the Wimbledon semifinal to Jannik Sinner 6-3, 6-3, 6-4, Novak openly admitted his body is on the edge. “I didn’t feel this bad before the match, but my leg started hurting midway through the first set,” Djokovic said. Despite fighting hard, the pain became unbearable, and the second set was a nightmare for our ace.
What’s really worrying is that in the last six major tournaments, Novak has had injuries that either forced him to retire or limited his play. “It frustrates me that this happens in the semifinals of big tournaments, where I might have my last chances to fight for titles,” he confessed.
But it’s not all doom and gloom! Novak believes he will recover by the US Open and return to his desired level. “I dedicate a lot of time to my body, learning and applying new methods, but young players have a biological edge,” he added.
This situation casts a shadow over his already legendary career, filled with records and achievements that will be remembered. Still, it’s clear the body can’t handle the pressure of elite sport forever. Is this the beginning of the end for Djokovic or just another hurdle our champion will overcome? Time will tell.
