Novak Djokovic injured before Australian Open! Fear looms large for Nole fam at United Cup 2024

Novak Djokovic suffered a concerning wrist injury ahead of the United Cup tie between Serbia and the Czech Republic. His team attended to him quickly, and the Serb decided to proceed with the singles match against Jiri Lehecka in Perth, but fans are concerned about the seriousness of the problem. There has been no update yet about the injury from the Serb or his team. 

The 24-time singles Grand Slam champion has been pretty injury-free throughout his career. He had only one elbow surgery back in 2018. However, it is something that he will definitely like to forget, as what followed was hands-down the worst phase of Djokovic’s career.

The Serb made an early comeback but suffered from horrible form. He was losing back-to-back matches and almost retired from tennis entirely. It was then that his family convinced him to take up the racket again, and the rest is history. 

Given the fact that the Australian Open will kick off within two weeks, the news of the injury has scared Djokovic’s fans even more. The Serb is in sensational form and had a great campaign in 2023.

Djokovic won three out of the four Grand Slam events (Australian Open, French Open, and US Open), was the runner-up in the other (Wimbledon), and won 7 trophies in total. He also ended the year as the World No. 1. 

Nole decided to play the singles match against Jiri Lehecka in the tie between Serbia and the Czech Republic, which is kind of a sigh of relief. It hints that the injury is not that serious; otherwise, the Serb would have withdrawn as the Australian Open is his primary concern right now. He will probably give an update on the same once his match against Lehecka is complete.
