Djokovic confirms right elbow surgery
Madrid, Feb 3 (IANS) Star player Novak Djokovic of Serbia on Saturday confirmed that he underwent surgery on his right elbow for an injury that had kept the former World No. 1 off the tennis court for six months.
Djokovic, currently world No. 13, announced on his Facebook page that he had consulted with many doctors before finally deciding to take the surgical route to deal with his elbow injury, which had plagued him for the past two years, reports Efe.
“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,” he said.
“It seems like I am on the good road now to full recovery,” he reiterated. “I’m learning a lot and for that I’m grateful.”
The Serbian star returned to competition at the 2018 Australian Open in January, only to get knocked out early in the round of 16, calling a medical timeout during the match due to his elbow.
Before Melbourne, Djokovic had been absent from competitive matches since July 2017, when he was eliminated in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
Djokovic thanked his fans for their support, saying he was “super positive and excited” to complete his recovery and get back to “the place I love the most: the court.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
