In the last ten days, everyone has expressed their opinion on the injury suffered by Novak Djokovic at the 2025 Australian Open. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was injured during his quarterfinal match against Carlos Alcaraz, a problem that did not prevent him from defeating the young Spaniard in the most spectacular match of this edition of the tournament.

The 37-year-old Serbian also tried to play the semifinal against Alexander Zverev, but had to retire at the end of the first set because the pain in his left thigh was increasing. The former world number 1 immediately left the court and was booed by the Australian crowd, who had not quite understood the reasons for his retirement until the next day.
The champion from Belgrade posted on social media the resonance of his injury, which shows that he suffered a fairly deep tear. In recent days, experts have speculated that Djokovic will have to be out of action for at least a couple of months before he can return to action.
The Serbian has already had to miss the Davis Cup tie between his Serbia and Denmark which is being played this weekend but hopes to recover in time for the Doha ATP 500, which is scheduled for the second half of February.

Huge update on Nole's injury
According to reports from 'Sportal', Nole underwent further tests on his left thigh immediately after returning to Belgrade. The latest MRI would have shown that the injury is less serious than had been feared in Australia.
The doctors would have authorized Novak to return to training in light form as early as the next few days. If this rumor is true, it would increase the chances of seeing him in action in Doha in the second part of this month.
Djokovic is intent on playing more tournaments in 2025, wanting to avoid making the same mistakes as last year. His main focus is always Grand Slam tournaments, along with events where he can represent his country.
