How long Novak Djokovic is expected to be out injured for after scan of his muscle injury analysed

Novak Djokovic suffered a muscle tear in his left hamstring during his Australian Open semifinal against Alexander Zverev, leading to his retirement from the match after the first set.

ESPN analyst Chris Fowler has indicated that this injury is significant, describing it as a “pretty deep tear” located in the deepest part of the hamstring.

While specific recovery timelines can vary, muscle tears of this nature typically require several weeks to heal properly. Given the severity of the injury, Djokovic is expected to be sidelined for a period of time to ensure full recovery.

Djokovic has shared his MRI scan on social media, addressing “sports injury experts” who questioned the severity of his condition.

The exact duration of his recovery will depend on the injury’s severity and his rehabilitation progress. His medical team will provide a more precise timeline as they monitor his healing process.
