Novak Djokovic, the 35-year-old Serbian professional is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. With 21 Grand Slam titles to his name, Djokovic has etched his name among the all-time elites of the sport. Djokovic has managed to reach yet another Grand Slam final as he beat Tommy Paul in the semi-finals of the 2023 Australian Open.
Djokovic suffered a hamstring injury more than two weeks ago. Ever since then, he has been competing in the Australian Open carrying that injury. His injury has led to people speculating that the Serb could be faking his injury. Many even suggested that Djokovic is exaggerating his injury, and Swedish tennis legend Mats Wilander has hit back at people speculating about his injury.
Mats Wilander while talking about this topic said, “When you hear people talk about it in a negative it’s like, what are you doing? It’s ridiculous that you’re accusing someone of something like that. Why lose energy? To me it’s a complete ridiculous argument. I mean, it’s his thing, of course he has pain, of course he’s injured but he can play tennis, that’s the only thing that matters.“
