Novak Djokovic looked in discomfort during his match against Auger-Aliassime struggling with his serve the most and the reason is his wrist.
Speaking after the conclusion of the Laver Cup, the Serbian admitted to feeling soreness in his wrist in the past couple of days. He did not injure himself in any shape or form but rather he's thinking it might be linked to a sudden increase in stress due to him playing high-level matches without much of a ramp-up:
"I have been struggling with my right wrist for the last four/five days, to be honest. I have been keeping it under control. The two matches yesterday probably had an effect. Today was not easy. I couldn’t serve as fast or as accurately as I would like to."
He continued:
"Could be (due to) not playing almost three months of matches, and then conditions here (at The O2) are such that the balls are really big and slow. You always have to generate a lot of wrist action and speed, which could be the case why I have been feeling soreness in my right wrist.”
According to Serbian journalist Sasa Ozmo, Djokovic added in Serbian that he's not worried about his tennis but he does worry about the wrist a bit:
"I am not worried about my level, but I am a bit about the wrist. I am going to try to take care of it with my physio, to be ready for my first match in Tel Aviv."
