Novak Djokovic Put everything out there.
Serbian tennis star published a scan of her injured tendon of the left corva on social networks on Sunday after being booed In the Australian Open when he stopped playing a set in his semifinal. He said at his press conference that he had a muscular tear, but faced criticisms of fans on social networks that questioned the seriousness of the injury.
Djokovic apparently let the reaction affect it, since he published the photo of the magnetic resonance taken on Saturday in X to demonstrate that the skeptics were wrong.
“I thought about leaving this here for all ‘experts’ in sports injuries that exist,” he wrote.

During his interview on the court, Zverev rebuked those who booed Djokovic.
“I know everyone paid tickets and everyone wants to see a great five -set game,” said Zverev. “But you have to understand: Novak Djokovic is someone who has given this sport, during the last 20 years, absolutely everything in his life.”
Djokovic had hurt at the end of the first set of his previous match, a four set victory against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
Djokovic finished that game with adhesive tape at the top of his left leg and had a bandage similar to the beginning against Zverev.

“I did everything I could to basically control the muscular tear I had,” said Djokovic at his press conference on Friday.
“Towards the end of the first set, I began to feel more and more pain,” he said. “I guess it was too much for me at this time. Final unfortunate, but I tried.”
