Novak Djokovic was fed up with criticism of his injury: “Those who doubt, let them continue to do so. It’s funny how only my injuries are questioned, while when other tennis players, you know who I mean, have physical problems, they are the victims. The thing is that I am always the one who fakes it. I have no need to prove anything to anyone, but I have medical evidence, from now and two years ago. I have very clear MRI and ultrasound scans. I don’t know if I will show it in the documentary they are preparing about me, it depends on how I feel, but I don’t care what people think. There is a radically different narrative around me than other tennis players, but that only makes me stronger, it motivates me even more to try to be the best in history, so I can only be grateful for that. Many masks that have been created in the last two years in the circuit with situations that have occurred during the pandemic will continue to fall. I’m very interested to see what the future holds, not just on a sporting level.”
