Novak Djokovic‘s hard luck continues at Roland Garros. Right from the start of this season, the tennis star has been facing consistent setbacks, finding it hard to lay his hands on any of the titles. While everyone expected that he might show positive signs at the clay-court major in Paris, it seems like he will have to go through physical hardships yet again.

Novak Djokovic is set to start his run for the French Open title today. Matched against Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert, fans were closely anticipating his entry into the arena. However, before he stepped into the court, an update of him feeling uneasiness in his arm started to trend on social media. A post on X mentioned that Eurosport presented a report in which Djokovic was seen struggling with discomfort in his left wrist. And it let all hell lose on social media.

A fan came forward to decode the whole story behind the Serb’s inconsistency. Stating their perspective about when it all began, they said, “Novak was struggling from the beginning of davis cup, wrist pain already started for Novak that time.” While there’s no mention from the Serb or his team about this, it could or could not be true.

Being annoyed by issues showing up one after the other, another fan said, “Can we ever catch a break this year ?” 

“Wrist injuries are dangerous. Ask Thiem,” a fan wrote, raising a highly disturbing speculation. Thiem, who had to end his professional career because of a wrist injury could be the most daunting example in situations like these.

“Ughhh no more issues please,” a fan commented, urging for all of these issues with Djokovic to stop.
