Ivanisevic: Yeah certain Djokovic requirements to phony an injury versus routine gamers
“We can’t stop people from saying one thing and the other, let everyone think what they want, but I find it hilarious when someone says: ‘Oh, he faked (the injury) during the match.’
Sure, the best player in the world needs to fake an injury to win against a player who would maybe take a few games off of him. He would win either way. People will always talk about this and that, what’s important is that Novak lifted the trophy.
As for the others: Sorry, guys, what can I do?” Ivanisevic included. After whipping Stefanos Tsitsipas for a document 10th Australian Open title, Djokovic confessed that he was “bothered” by some of the remarks that were made regarding him throughout his Melbourne Park run.
