At the start of the 2023 Australian Open, Novak Djokovic struggled with an injury, and according to his coach, Goran Ivanisevic, many players would have elected to withdraw from the event.

During his first matches at the first major of the season, Djokovic appeared on the court with his left hamstring strapped. His injury improved as the event progressed and he admitted that it got very good by the time the tournament ended.

The injury was also doubted by many, but after the tournament, the Serbian disclosed that he will show proof of his injury. Speaking about it on Sunday, his coach Goran Ivanisevic said:

"I will not say 100%, but 97% of the players on Saturday when you get the results of the MRI you go straight to the referee's office and pull out. But not him. He's from a different species."

"He's getting crazier and crazier, I can say it laughs. It's a no end of the field of crazyness, in a positive way I mean. The guy is unbelievable, I don't know how to describe him. I thought I had seen everything, but then I see this... unbelievable."
