Djokovic did not show any concern even though he had a wrist problem right before the 2024 Australian Open.
The journey of Djokovic and his teammates in the 2024 United Cup has ended. “Nole” lost to De Minaur after 2 sets with a score of 4-6, while his teammate Stevanovic lost to Tomljanovic after 2 sets in the women’s singles. This caused the Serbian tennis team to stop in the United Cup quarterfinals against Australia.
In this match, Djokovic suffered a wrist injury. Many times he had to ask the doctor to take care of and massage his wrist. That is part of the reason why the player born in 1986 was not in his best form, thereby losing to De Minaur and ending his streak of 43 consecutive wins at tournaments in Australia.
Many concerns are directed towards Djokovic, when the Australian Open 2024 is near. Specifically, this tournament lasts from January 14 to January 28. However, “Nole” spoke up to reassure fans:
“I want to congratulate De Minaur, he played solidly from the beginning of the match. De Minaur deserved to win the match. And I was not in the best form.
That’s all I can say about this match. I have enough time to achieve my desired performance at the Australian Open 2024. That is the most important thing.
I think I’ll be fine. Wrist pain affects my serves and forehands. But I don’t want to waste time making excuses for my loss.
The United Cup is partly to prepare me for the Australian Open 2024. Losing is not pleasant, but I will not think too much about this defeat. I’m trying to rehab my wrist. I’ve been in this situation many times and know what to do to get through it.
Remember in 2021 and 2023, I got injured right before the Australian Open. But then I still won. However, I still hope that before the 2024 Australian Open takes place, I will not have any problems.”
