Djokovic has now come to Israel to attend Tel Aviv Watergen Open 2022. He is ranked as the No. 1 seed in this tournament and is exempt from the first round.
Before attending Tel Aviv Watergen Open, former No. 1 in the world and the European team competed in Laver Cup 2022. He played 3 matches (2 single, 1 pair) with a record of 2 wins, 1 loss. Failure with the score of Djokovic's 0-2 against Frances Tiafoe on the final day of the competition indirectly made the European team unable to successfully protect the championship.
As revealed from the Novak Djokovic himself, he constantly struggled with his right wrist during the process of attending Laver Cup. The 35 -year -old Serbian player himself was not satisfied with the ball at the last top tennis event that Federer attended.
“To be honest, I struggled with my right wrist for the past 4-5 days. I try to keep it under control.
Two continuous matches in the second day of Laver Cup have probably left shock. I am talented with Tiafoe in not easy conditions. I can't recover as quickly as I want. That has affected the match.
Maybe not playing for nearly 3 months made me go through that situation. The balls here are really large and slow. I always create many actions and change your wrist speed. Perhaps that also became part of the reason why I felt pain”, Tennis365.com quoted the owner of 21 Grand Slam.
Djokovic's opponent in the second round of Tel Aviv Watergen Open 2022 of course has not been determined. He is expected to play the final match of the second round, on September 28 (the specific time has not been determined).
