Novak\nDjokovic had to retire in his game against Stan Wawrinka during the\nU.S. Open on Sunday, with the crowd jeering and booing the Serbian on\nhis way to the locker room.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Djokovic\nRetires from Match Against Wawrinka \n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Novak\nDjokovic <\/strong>has left the U.S. Open during his game against Stan\nWawrinka<\/strong>, citing shoulder pain as the reason. In the match\nagainst Wawrinka, the Serbian trailed 6-4, 7-5 and 2-1<\/em> when he\ndecided to withdraw from the competition. The public didn’t seem\nhappy, but Djokovic explained that he had had\nto deal with the pain for weeks as of the moment of the game. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectators\nbooed the legendary tennis player as he walked away from the court.\nDjokovic, known as an upbeat character with a\nfriendly attitude, didn’t give in to the jeers and just raised\nhis thumb as is his custom leaving the court.\nDuring a press conference, Djokovic took the side of the audience\narguing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry for the crowd. Obviously they came to see a full match, and just wasn\u2019t to be I mean, a lot of people didn\u2019t know what\u2019s happening, so you cannot blame them.\u201d <\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\nDespite his position in world tennis, Djokovic has never come out of\na position of ego. Commenting on his injury, he explained that he had\nbeen doing a lot of efforts to numb the pain, using strong\nmedication. Yet, sometimes the medication would simply have no\neffect. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain didn’t stop him from performing well, though. In fact, Djokovic secured victories in 36 out of his 37 Grand Slam matches. However, the Wawrinka match proved to be a breaking point for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing his ambitions to catch up to Roger Federer’s<\/strong> record<\/strong>, Djokovic simply said that he hoped that the years ahead would let him do that. Similarly, the Serbian player noted that he would focus on keeping his body and mind in shape so as to perform well at the events in tennis that matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Djokovic’s Grand Slam’s career, the player has withdrawn from a match on 13 occasions, the ATP reported. This effectively diminishes the chances to see a rematch between Djokovic and Federer<\/a> at this leg of the Grand Slam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Chip on Djokovic’s Shoulder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Djokovic’s issues began on Wednesday when he was massaged by a trainer during changeovers. His pain seemed to subside for his Friday game<\/a>, but no specifics were disclosed at the time. He even changed play styles for his two-fisted backhands, using his left hand instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on Djokovic’s performance Wawrinka also acknowledged that the Serbian was playing below-par. Massages didn’t help Djokovic that day and later the Serb just said that a player just knew when he couldn’t hit another ball any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully for him and his followers, Djokovic only meant an individual game, rather than his career ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Novak Djokovic had to retire in his game against Stan Wawrinka during the U.S. Open on Sunday, with the crowd jeering and booing the Serbian on his way to the locker room.
