It hasn’t been smooth going for Novak Djokovic at the ongoing French Open. Although he has yet to lose a set in the tournament, Djokovic has had to grind hard for his victories. Additionally, he also had injury concerns during his first-round and second-round victories in the tournament. At 38, the Serb is looking to make a deep run at Roland Garros, though he is now battling foot blisters. But a time when it looked as if Djokovic was looking comfortable again, a fresh setback came to haunt him today.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion is currently playing Cameron Norrie in the fourth round match at the French Open. Although he began the match on the front foot and won the opening set 6-2, Djokovic had an injury scare to deal with. At 5-2 up in the first set, Djokovic asked for a medical timeout and got his right foot taped again. However, this wasn’t the same foot that Djokovic had issues with the previous time, making it a fresh scare in his bid to win the 25th Grand Slam title.
