Mats Wilander doesn't think Novak Djokovic faked an injury at the Australian Open because there is no need for that.
Despite dealing with a leg ailment during the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic's performance wasn't affected. He has performed admirably, and with no significant problems, he has advanced to the semifinals. For Wilander, it makes no sense to pretend to be injured.
When you hear people talk about it in a negative (way) - it's like what are you doing? It's so ridiculous that you're accusing someone of something like that. First of all, there's no way you wanna let the locker room know you're injured first of all, unless you're injured. So, to think that it's some kind of fake is ridiculous.
He further expalined that nothing good could possibly come out of it. To him it's clear, Djokovic has an injury, but one with which he can play and that's all that matters to the analyst.
Why lose energy, why talk about it? To me, it's a completely ridiculous argument. I mean it's his thing. Of course he has pain, of course he's injured but he can play tennis and that's the only thing that matters to me.
