Djokovic Acknowledges Feeling Unwell Following Initial Victory at the Australian Open

Novak Djokovic faced a challenging opening-round encounter at the 2024 Australian Open, and it appears that his health may have played a role.

Following the United Cup and his match against Jiri Lehecka, Djokovic has been contending with a wrist injury. While he initially downplayed concerns, there were lingering worries about his performance.

In the initial match, he appeared physically okay, but Djokovic displayed an unusual number of unforced errors. Throughout much of the match, he seemed off and lacked the usual focus, allowing his opponent to stretch the contest to four sets and four hours.
