Novak Djokovic not only had to retire in the semi-finals of the 2025 Australian Open due to a thigh tear, but he also had to take the undeserved boos of the Australian crowd when he exited the Rod Laver Arena.
The following day, the former world No.1 posted an MRI of his thigh injury on social media, and experts revealed that it is not a minor problem. The rift seems quite deep and Nole's presence in Doha in the second half of February is at great risk at this time.
The positive signs were there at Melbourne Park, where the 24-time Grand Slam champion returned to play excellent tennis and achieved a titanic feat by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals despite being physically limited.
Djokovic is divisiveNovak's motivations seem to have been regenerated also thanks to the help of Andy Murray, who took his new job very seriously and who helped the Serbian legend from several points of view. If he continues to play like this, the 37-year-old from Belgrade will be able to aspire to win the 25th Major title of his glorious career.
In his traditional column on 'El Pais', Toni Nadal analyzed Djokovic's AO campaign in detail: “Over the years, there has been a growing suspicion around Novak, due to his expressions or histrionics, casting doubt on the authenticity of his injuries.
I believe that a great champion like the Serbian, someone who has contributed to writing the most glorious pages of tennis history, should not depart in this manner from any court and even less so from the Rod Laver Arena, where he holds the records for victories and titles.”
The former world number 1 has always had a very divisive behavior and this has made him a polarizing player.
The 37-year-old from Belgrade does not like to compromise, but he certainly did not deserve to leave the RLA in that way.
2025 could be the last year of his career and a legend of this caliber should receive more respect as Sascha Zverev said after the AO semifinal.
