Novak Djokovic Posts MRI image showing hamstring injury after fans boo him for leaving match

Novak Djokovic put it all out there.

The Serbian tennis star posted a scan of his injured hamstring on social media early Sunday after being booed at the Australian Open when he missed a set in their semi-final. He said in his press conference that he had a torn muscle, but faced criticism from fans in the social media who questioned how serious the injury was.

Djokovic apparently let the backlash get to him, as he posted the MRI photo taken on Saturday on X to prove the skeptics wrong.

“Thought I’d leave this here for all the sports injury ‘experts’ out there,” he wrote.

The veteran tennis star did not offer any additional information, such as the exact diagnosis she may have received or any timeline for her recovery.

Djokovic, 37, stopped his match against Alexander Zverev after dropping the opening set in a tiebreaker on Friday. After shaking hands with Zverev and the chair umpire, Djokovic gathered his team and began walking towards the locker room.

Some of the spectators at Rod Laver Arena mocked him. Djokovic gave both thumbs up before leaving.

During his on-court interview, Zverev chastised those who booed Djokovic.

“I know everyone paid for the tickets and everyone wants to see a great five-set match,” Zverev said. “But you have to understand: Novak Djokovic is someone who has given this sport, over the last 20 years, absolutely everything of his life.”

Djokovic had been injured late in the first set of his previous match, a four-set victory against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night.

Djokovic finished that match with tape on his upper left leg and had a similar wrap at the start against Zverev.

“I did everything I can to basically handle the muscle tear that I had,” Djokovic said in his news conference on Friday.

“Towards the end of that first set, I started to feel more and more pain,” he said. “It was too much, I guess, to handle at the moment. Unfortunate ending, but I tried.”
