Meridian Sport Global journalist Luka Nikolic revealed details surrounding Novak Djokovic’s fever the night before his semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open 2024. According to Nikolic, Djokovic had been unwell for three weeks, experiencing a relapse on the eve of the match. Nikolic stated that Djokovic’s visible weakness in the first two sets was due to his illness, rendering him incapable of performing at his best.
However, Djokovic’s coach, Goran Ivanisevic, refuted these claims, acknowledging that Djokovic’s loss was inevitable but emphasizing that it was unfortunate it occurred in this manner. Ivanisevic highlighted the formidable challenge Sinner posed and stressed that Djokovic’s performance was affected by his physical condition. Despite difficulties throughout the Australian Open, Ivanisevic maintained that Djokovic was healthy, although something seemed amiss.
Moving forward, Djokovic will return to action at the Indian Wells Masters 1000, bypassing the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai. Meanwhile, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland expressed admiration for Djokovic, citing his authenticity and remarkable achievements as reasons for his admiration.
