Djokovic has been nursing a wrist injury in the build-up to the Australian Open which he picked up in his previous win over Jiri Lehecka. When asked if it was a serious concern, he replied: “I hope not, but yeah, it happened in the warmup today before the match. I basically got constant treatment before the match, during the match, after the match, you know, trying to address the issue that I’m facing today in the best possible way.
“I mean, it’s not the first time that I have faced these kinds of circumstances at such a high level of professional tennis. I know professional sport in general, these things happen.
“I think it’s not a major concern, because I still managed to finish the match and managed to play well, even though I maybe wasn’t feeling 100 per cent, but still, you know, it allowed me to finish the match.”
