Match over after one set. Djokovic led 3-2 with a break but won just one more game after doctors assessed his left knee at three consecutive changes of end. For context, the match between Auger-Aliassime and Garin beforehand went for twice as long #AusOpen
Djokovic cuts practice short with Medvedev as Australian Open injury doubts swirl
ATPWednesday, 11 January 2023 at 08:59
Novak Djokovic's preparation for the Australian Open has undergone a minor setback with the 21-time Grand Slam champion ending his practice early with Daniil Medvedev due to injury concerns.
In particular his right leg. He took to the court for the schedule 75 minutes but ended up leaving after 36 minutes losing a practice set 6-4.
Hindered last week by a hamstring issue in Adelaide which he went on to win, he played this down when asked about it and while this could just be precaution, it adds doubts to his campaign.
“Few times in the match (against Korda) I felt I was tightening up the muscle, but nothing that would worry me for my performance,” said Djokovic in Adelaide.
