Former World number 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic confirmed on his website that he had "a small medical intervention" on injured elbow, after he has been spotted at a clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, with bandage on his right arm. The 12-time Grand Slam champion wrote on his website that he tried to recover by taking his time off the tour during last six months, but after Australian Open he decided with his team to try different method to heal his bothersome elbow.
"Hey guys, I owe you some news about my recovery. I’ve been carrying this injury for the past two years, and during this time I’ve been seeing many doctors. Truth be told, there were many different opinions, different diagnoses, different suggestions", Djokovic wrote on his website and the Instagram profile.
The 30-years old Serb stated that it wasn't easy for him to choose which way to go and what to do.
"I took 6 months off last season hoping to come back fully recovered, but unfortunately I still felt pain. I really missed competing, it’s in my blood and I had to give it a try on AO. Anyhow, I agreed with my team that I would try different methods after I finish in Australia and a few days ago I accepted to do a small medical intervention on my elbow", said Djokovic.
The six time Australian Open champion is positive that he will be back to the tennis court soon.
"It seems like I am on the good road now to full recovery. It’s quite a journey this one, I have to say. I’m learning a lot and for that I’m grateful. I’ve always taken care of my body and looked for the most natural ways to heal, and my body has rewarded me with some incredible years on tour. I am super positive and excited to follow my recovery through so I can come back to the place I love the most. The court. I’ll keep you posted and thanks for cheering me on!"
