The Serbian Novak Djokovic It showed itself worried about his right knee at the end of the victory over the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas which took him to the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament and put him in the fight for the medals in Paris 2024.
The winner of twenty-four Grand Slam felt pain in right knee which he underwent surgery almost two months ago, at the beginning of June, for a medial tear that forced him to retire from Roland Garros. In the exchange of the third set, with the score at 3-0, he requested the assistance of the track physiotherapist to evaluate the pain in his leg.
Djokovic, who has been playing with a visible knee brace since his surgery, expressed his concern after his victory.I’m very worried, honestly, I don’t know what to say.“I finished the match and the intense pain was gone. Whether I hit or slipped, I don’t even know for sure,” said the 37-year-old Serbian player, who is hoping to win the Olympic gold that is missing from his list of achievements.
“It was like the round of 16 at Roland Garros, where I managed to finish the match and then I found out I was injured and couldn’t play anymore. I’m happy with the victory, but I’m worried“Djokovic said, announcing that his knee will be examined by his doctors. In any case, he revealed that he will be in the semi-final against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
“Even if the doctors tell me that my knee is not good, I will probably go out on the court and try.“These are unique opportunities to fight for a medal for my country, so I will do everything in the next 24 hours to be in a position to fight for a medal for Serbia,” he added.
