He’s back! Novak Djokovic has recovered from his Australian Open heartbreak and is ready to return to competition in Doha.
The 37-year-old Serbian legend has confirmed that his hamstring injury is nearly 100% healed, setting the stage for another thrilling chapter in his storied career.
“The muscle tear is gone. The injury is almost 100% healed, and I’m ready to chase new achievements,” Djokovic revealed.
“I have the green light from the medical team to train and prepare. The tournament in Doha starts in seven days, and I’m sticking to the plan. Thank God I managed to recover quickly.”
Djokovic’s rapid recovery is nothing short of remarkable. After fears he could miss months of action, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is back much sooner than expected—and he’s got his sights set on another ATP title.
Djokovic’s Road to Recovery – From Devastation to Determination
Djokovic’s 2025 Australian Open campaign ended in agony, as he was forced to retire during his semi-final clash against Alexander Zverev.
- The injury struck against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, where he battled through excruciating pain to secure a historic 50th Grand Slam semi-final.
- Against Zverev, he fought hard in the opening set, but ultimately retired after dropping a marathon 80-minute tiebreaker.
- An MRI confirmed a hamstring tear, raising concerns that Djokovic would be sidelined for months.
But, in true Djokovic fashion, he defied the odds.
“His team did everything to fix the rupture in his left leg with treatments and therapies, and the legend is ready to compete again,” reports suggest.
Skipping Serbia’s Davis Cup tie against Denmark, Djokovic focused entirely on rehabilitation—and now, he’s ready to return to the court.
