Djokovic is about to hold a press conference to publicize his injury

Djokovic has not announced a specific time, but confirmed the press conference will take place in the next few days. "I know all the rumors about myself but have not had the opportunity to speak to the public. I will answer questions at a press conference, where there will be a lot of reporters," Djokovic told Serbian newspaper Sportal on 21. /2.

Djokovic is recovering in his hometown of Serbia. He is expected to participate in the ATP 500 Dubai Championship on February 27. Djokovic is said to have torn 3 cm hamstring during the Australian Open - Grand Slam that Nole lost only one set on the way to the championship.

Australian Open CEO Craig Tiley said last month he had seen Djokovic's scan and confirmed the 35-year-old had a torn hamstring. The hamstring muscle is the bridge between the sitting bone and the shin bone, which is used to bend the knee or raise the hip backward. Djokovic's condition can be classified as second level. If the tear is complete, he may need surgery and needs two to four months to recover.

Djokovic's coach, Goran Ivanisevic, said that his student was injured when he attended the Adelaide International, where the Serbian tennis player won. Nole then appeared at the Australian Open with his left thigh wrapped in bandages and often used breaks between games to get medical care.

Djokovic's injury became a hot topic at the Grand Slam at the beginning of the year when he continuously beat strong young juniors. After defeating Rublev 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, Djokovic said: "Leave them in doubt. Only I am suspected of lying about the injury. If other players are hurt, they are. will accept sympathy. I don't have to prove anything to anyone."

Former French tennis player Gilles Simon said that Djokovic was always looked at with harsh eyes. The former world number six said: "People regularly question Djokovic about injuries and it definitely annoys him. With big names like Djokovic, there are always supporters and critics. Right Even Federer has to deal with this."

Simon also thinks that Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are so classy that they don't need to be 100% in shape to win the ATP Tour. He said: "They are the best, the most resilient, the most persistent. If they are only 70% in form, it is enough to compete with other people who are 100% in form."
