Liam Broady wonders if Novak Djokovic will suffer similar effects of hamstring injury long-term like Nadal's abdominal tear: "I feel like he still might not be serving as well as he was before that?"

Rafael Nadal's abdominal injury still affects the way he plays tennis and British player Liam Broady wonders whether Djokovic will suffer a similar fate with his injury.

Nadal's abdominal injury continued to bother him for the rest of 2022 and might have something to do with his latest injury at the Australian Open. Muscle injuries are tricky and can linger for a long time as many tennis players are well aware. Fellow player Broady reacted to the news on social media asking for other people's thoughts and one fan expressed worry about something like that causing long-term effects.

Broady's response to that was:

"That’s true with a tear like that and playing on it for seven matches it would affect him long term I would think. Rafas Ab tear at Wimbledon I feel like he still might not be serving as well as he was before that?"

It remains to be seen whether that will be truly the case as Djokovic is not your average tennis player but there is a high chance that the hamstring might not be as reliable as it once was.
