Between bouts, I didn’t practice even once. I simply played some warm-up games before the matches. Fortunately, I had a terrific lead-up to the Australian Open and played lots of tennis, so I was able to enjoy the luxury of not practicing on days when there weren’t any matches and instead try to make the most of every opportunity to rest and get my leg in better shape.

I haven’t experienced pain in the past week or so. So I’m comfortable on the court. I’m still constructing. I’m still not at 100%, but I’m getting there. But it’s a process, and I’m excited about what’s coming up,” Djokovic said, according to a Sportskeeda report from Tennis TV.
