“It’s the hamstring that I had problems with in Adelaide last week,” Djokovic stated, according to 9News.

” I simply intend to prevent any type of larger terrifies prior to the Australian Open,” he said.
Djokovic, who won the Adelaide crown on Sunday despite the lingering hamstring issue, is hot favourite to triumph in Melbourne once again.
