Nick
Kyrgios blamed the ball change in ATP tournaments for Novak Djokovic's injury,
which has left him struggling with physical issues after his defeat of 4-6, 4-6
against Alex de Minaur in the United Cup.
The 2022
Wimbledon finalist once again criticized the ball changes that occur throughout
the year in various tournaments. This issue has been a subject of criticism in
both the ATP and WTA for not prioritizing the well-being of players who are
more susceptible to injuries due to the hectic tournament schedule and
variations in ball weight and pressure.
'Nole'
acknowledged during the week in Perth that he felt some physical discomfort and
is not at his 100%. This raised doubts about his health condition as he
approaches the Aussie Open after suffering his first defeat in Australia since
2018. Serbia was eliminated from the United Cup in the quarterfinals after a
loss to the home team led by De Minaur and Alja Tomljanovic.
"Change of
balls every week finally got to novaks wrist 😭 the atp really need to do something about this problem. Players suffer
all the time"
"Ok for the
noobs that think I’m taking credit away from Alex are just plain dumb. Demon is
a hell of a player and deserves every success that comes his way."

"Also, for
the people who think balls aren’t a big enough factor to result in an athlete
being hurt are potato’s. The load through a players elbow, wrist over this
vigorous season is enormous."

Djokovic
concluded his participation in the United Cup with victories over Chinese
player Zhang Zhizhen (6-3, 6-2) and then against Czech player Jiri Lehecka
(6-1, 6-7, 6-1), in addition to the defeat against De Minaur. The 24-times
Grand Slam champion also played mixed doubles against China alongside Olga
Danilovic, overcoming Zhang, who partnered with the rising star Qinwen Zheng.
‘Nole’ will
return to competition at the Australian Open starting on January 14th. The
Serbian is the most successful player in the tournament with 10 titles and an
impressive record of 89-8 (92%). Djokovic has won the last four editions he
