Jelena Djokovic: “My husband’s injury is real and he doesn’t use doping”
The tennis world has recently witnessed a huge controversy when Novak Djokovic, one of the world’s best players, was suspended for a year. The reason behind this sanction is suspicions that his injury was “faked” and accusations of doping. In the face of harsh criticism, Jelena Djokovic, Novak’s wife, has come out in defense of her husband.
“Novak’s injury is real”
In an exclusive interview, Jelena expressed her disappointment over the malicious rumors surrounding Novak. “It is absurd to say that my husband faked an injury to avoid responsibilities in the game. I was by his side throughout the entire recovery process and saw firsthand the pain he suffered,” Jelena shared emotionally.
He also revealed that Novak suffered a serious muscle injury during the QATAR Open. Despite his utmost efforts, Novak was forced to retire in the semi-finals to avoid further damage to his body. “He is not a person who gives up easily. This decision was extremely difficult for him,” he added.
“Novak does not use doping”
Jelena also strongly denied the doping allegations. “Novak has always respected the rules of the game and has been honest about his career. He has never used any banned substances to enhance his performance. These accusations are unfounded and unfair,” she said.
Jelena stressed that Novak is a professional athlete who has always complied with the strict regulations of international tennis organisations. “He has undergone multiple doping controls before and after tournaments, and the results have always been transparent,” she added.
“Novak is a real fighter”
When asked about Novak’s feelings regarding this controversy, Jelena commented: “Novak is sad, but he is a fighter. He will not let criticism bring him down. He always faces difficulties and continues to fight for his passion for tennis.”
Jelena concluded the interview with a call for justice from the tennis community and fans. “Novak has given everything for this sport, and I am sure that the truth will come out. We hope that everyone can see the situation objectively and fairly,” she said.
The return of Novak Djokovic
Despite facing a one-year suspension, Novak Djokovic has the unconditional support of his family, friends and fans around the world. His road back will undoubtedly be an example of determination and perseverance.
