Serbian Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open last Sunday after suffering a three-centimeter tear during the tournament. Despite the suspicions that his movements raised and that many denied the injury beyond the fact that the Serbian was treated in several matches, the tournament director, Craig Tiley, confirmed the version by assuring that he saw the studies and corroborated that Djokovic had a tear three centimeters on his left leg.
“There was a lot of speculation about whether or not it was true. It’s hard to believe that he can do what he does with those types of injuries, but I saw the scans and the doctors will tell you the truth: he had a 3cm tear in his hamstring. of his left leg,” Tiley said, speaking to Australian radio show SEN Sportsday.
Djokovic wore a bulky bandage on his left leg for most of the tournament and required medical attention in his third round match against Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, although many attributed it to the fact that the game had become very difficult for him during the first set and the second. Serbian appealed to that resource to cool the party.
