In a recent interview, World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas mentioned that it surprised him when he got to know that Novak Djokovic had won the Australian Open 2021 title despite suffering from an injury. What confused him even more was that right after his win in Melbourne, he lost in the third round at the Monte Carlo Masters 2021.

“Djokovic played with an injury at the Australian Open earlier this year, and he looked to be doing well. In fact, better than good, to be honest. He left Melbourne with a title. It was also very surprising to see considering the fact that he was claiming to be injured, that he was claiming to have a serious injury,” said Tsitsipas in the interview.
