(Dan Tri) - After being eliminated in the semi-finals of the 2025 Australian Open, Novak Djokovic is expected to be out for 2 months due to a hamstring injury.
Former Australian tennis player Rennae Stubbs is worried about Djokovic's current condition: "Having a hamstring injury is a nightmare for Djokovic. He needs at least 6 weeks to recover, even this period can last 2 months. Maybe Djokovic needs to treat the injury in the most appropriate way."

Djokovic was injured in the semi-final of the 2025 Australian Open on January 24, when he lost to Alexander Zverev and had to retire in the first set. The Serbian suffered a serious hamstring tear and needed time to recover.
Having to rest for 2 months, Djokovic will miss many ATP Masters 1000 tournaments such as Indian Wells, Miami Open, Monte Carlo, Madrid Open, Rome Masters. The tennis player born in 1987 hopes to return to Roland Garros in late May.
Nole has been criticized many times for pretending to be injured at the 2025 Australian Open, but coach Toni Nadal spoke up to defend the Serbian star: "After losing the first set to Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, Djokovic seemed to mean that he would give up.
But then he came back, played perfectly fine and even won three sets. In the semi-final against Zverev, Djokovic looked fine in the first set, only to lose in the tie-break, but he suddenly gave up. The audience was confused, upset and booed him.
Djokovic has won the Australian Open 10 times, he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. I believe a great champion would never leave the court in that situation if he wasn't seriously injured. Djokovic deserves respect, especially in Melbourne."
