The Serb was seen in pain during the fortnight which threatened to derail his campaign. But eventually, he emerged victorious against all odds.

Dikic told the aspects of the therapy that he got to know about. “Actually, it is electrophoresis of certain substances, which we do not know what they are, because it is actually a secret. This electrophoresis of substances is done in a magnetic field, which is a regular therapy,” he explained. 

He also quashed the rumors surrounding the use of the human placenta used by Kovacevic in the treatment of her patients. “They accused her of using the placenta, of using various things, but she denied it,” he said. Dikic was expecting the doctor to publicly explain everything but he was disappointed. 

As for Novak Djokovic, who is currently enjoying his position at the top of the rankings, some bad news is on the way. The Serb is expected to miss out on the Indian Wells again despite being on the entry list. This brings in the bad memories of the last year for him once again. Earlier the tournament director Tommy Haas said that it would be a ‘disgrace’ if Djokovic was not allowed in the event. It seems like there is no change in the US policy to accommodate Djokovic.
