Novak Djokovic believes he can go all the way for a 10th Australian Open crown after not being bothered by his hamstring injury in his win over Alex de Minaur.
MELBOURNE, Australia – Novak Djokovic said playing without pain for the first time at this year’s Australian Open on Monday, January 23, had given him the belief that his hamstring would hold out in his hunt for a 10th title at Melbourne Park and 22nd major to match Rafael Nadal.
“I mean, I always believe I can go all the way in terms of my tennis. But the way my leg felt before tonight wasn’t giving me too many hopes, so to say, for the entire tournament, to go all the way through.” “We take it day by day. We do a lot of things actually. It’s been exhausting to be involved in a lot of different treatments and machines and stuff that we do,” Djokovic told reporters.
“Tonight I didn’t feel any pain. I moved as well as I have the whole tournament. It means we’re progressing in the right direction.”
