In response, Djokovic took to social media to share a scan of his injured left hamstring, proving the doubters wrong.
The Backlash
Djokovic’s decision to quit playing one set into his semifinal match against Alexander Zverev drew jeers from the crowd. However, during an on-court interview, Zverev defended Djokovic, highlighting the Serbian’s immense contribution to the sport over the past 20 years.
Sharing the Evidence
To silence the critics, Djokovic posted a picture of the MRI taken on Saturday, showing a torn muscle in his left hamstring. He accompanied the image with a message, “Thought I’d leave this here for all the sports injury ‘experts’ out there.” However, he did not provide any additional details about the specific diagnosis or recovery timeline.
