Djokovic Withdraws from Denmark Clash in Davis Cup

The Serbian Tennis Federation announced that world No. 6 Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the team before their Davis Cup clash against Denmark due to injury.

Djokovic, who was set to represent Serbia in the much-anticipated match from January 31 to February 2 in Copenhagen, pulled out due to a hamstring injury sustained during his Australian Open semifinal against Alexander Zverev last week.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion faced boos from the crowd at Melbourne Park and responded by posting an MRI scan of his left hamstring on social media with the caption: “I leave this scan for all the sports injury experts.”

Djokovic (37) was part of the Serbian team that won the Davis Cup in 2010 after a memorable victory against France in Belgrade.

Serbia’s captain, Viktor Troicki, commented: “Djokovic’s absence weakens the team, but we will still fight to win. Denmark has a great player in Holger Rune, but I have confidence in our Serbian players.
