Woodbridge casts doubt on seriousness of Novak Djokovic's injury: "It looks a bit dodgy"

Former player Todd Woodbridge cast doubt on the severity of Novak Djokovic's injury after watching the Serbian shine in the first few rounds of the event.

Djokovic has been dealing with a leg injury at the Australian Open showing some discomfort during his matches. The Serbian admitted to being worried about it but after his most recent win over de Minaur, he said that he didn't feel it at all.

"It looks a bit dodgy between points but once he starts running there is absolutely no problem with how he is moving. I'm not saying it's gamesmanship, it's pretty obvious he has a bit of a niggle, but at times it looks like it's about to snap off, so he's playing it up nicely here and there, but you know, that's Novak."

Woodbridge also remarked that this is not the first time, something like this is happening:

"Novak uses that type of energy to focus, to fire up and we've seen him use the crowd in the same way sometimes. And that's just the way he does it and we've been watching it for a long time now."
