TIL Desk Sports/ Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic announced that he is set to miss the rest of the season due to an injury to his right elbow. In a Facebook Live broadcast, the former world no. 1 said that all the doctors he had consulted had informed him that recovering from this injury requires time.
“All the doctors I’ve consulted, and all the specialists I have visited, in Serbia and all over the world, have agreed that this injury requires rest,” 12-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic said.
The 30-year-old was forced to withdraw from the 2017 Wimbledon quarter-finals against Czech Tomas Berdych because of this injury, just as things seemed to be getting better.
Djokovic arrived at the All England Club with the Eastbourne Open title in his pocket and put on a good show in the first rounds at Wimbledon, dispelling doubts about his poor performance before injury stopped, not just his run at the third Grand Slam of the year, but also put an end to his season.
