While some have called Alex a sore loser, the majority of the comments side with him, accusing Nole of faking the hamstring injury since Adelaide.

Some tennis fans have questioned the credibility of the people who thought that Novak’s injury was indeed real. In their opinion, these people must be new to tennis.

Fans have put their reactions as bluntly as possible about Novak’s injury. Some have also resorted to derogatory language against World No 5.

Fans have expressed their comments through sarcasm too. A fan pointed out that if Nole’s injury is really as bad as he claims it, why haven’t the talks of his retirement come along already?

Another tennis enthusiast is sure that if a newbie watched Nole’s performance today, they would have said that he is indeed perfectly fine judging by his brilliant performance.

On the other hand, Djokovic fans have shown their loyalty and belief in their idol and defended him calling Alex the sore loser.

Whatever the actualities may be, the tennis world sure has found a raging controversy to hype up the Australian Open 2023 more than ever!

Boris Becker on Djokovic’s injury

Recently, Djokovic’s former coach Boris Becker spoke to Eurosport about the Serb’s injury. In Becker’s opinion, there is nothing fake about it. Having coached Djokovic for three years, he claims that Novak would never lie about something.

He even went so far as to state how Novak’s performance is now based on priority shots rather than accumulating both small and big points. Due to the injury, as Becker claims, Novak is giving his all for the scoring shots and taking it easy on the minor ones.
