Djokovic Withdraws from Serbia's Davis Cup Qualifiers Due to Injury

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from Serbia's Davis Cup first-round qualifier against Denmark due to a hamstring injury sustained during his Australian Open semi-final match against Alexander Zverev. The Serbian tennis federation confirmed that Djokovic, ranked sixth in the world, faced a mixed reaction from the crowd in Melbourne after his retirement, prompting him to share an MRI image of his injury on social media. Despite Djokovic's absence, Serbia's team captain, Viktor Troicki, expressed confidence in his players, noting the challenge posed by Danish star Holger Rune. Djokovic, who played a pivotal role in Serbia's Davis Cup victory in 2010, described the pain he experienced as too much to handle. The Serbian team will include players like Miomir Kecmanovic and Hamad Medjedovic as they aim for success against Denmark. This setback marks a significant moment for Djokovic as he continues to recover from his injury.
