Djokovic played Australian Open with 3cm tear in hamstring, says Tiley

Novak Djokovic played with a three-centimetre (1.2 inches) tear in his hamstring during his run to a record-extending 10th Australian Open title, tournament director Craig Tiley said on Wednesday. “This guy I did see, he had a three-centimetre tear in his hammy. He’s so focused on everything he does, with every single minute of the day. That’s what he eats, what he drinks, when he does it, how he does it. He’ll hold a significant place in the history of the Australian Open,” Tiley added.
