Novak Djokovic is set to miss the US Open after one of his doctors indicated he will need six to 12 weeks to recover from an elbow injury. But
Michael Jordan Womens Jersey Andy Murray’s chances of playing at Flushing Meadows would appear more positive, with the Scot continuing his rehabilitation from a hip problem. The last grand slam of the year starts in just under five weeks on 28 August, meaning Djokovic will run out of time if the latest assessment is correct. Andy Murray: ‘I knew I wasn’t going to do any major damage to hip by playing’ Read more The 12-times major champion was forced to retire injured during his Wimbledon quarter-final against Tomas Berdych and said after the match he had been feeling pain in his right elbow for more than a year and a half. He has since been seeking advice from specialists, including the Serbian doctor Zdenko Milinkovic, who said Djokovic is suffering from a “bruised bone due to excessive playing”. “Nole must rest for six to 12 weeks,” Milinkovic told Sportski Zurnal, a sports newspaper in Serbia. “The next examination will know whether this assessment stays or changes. During this period, he will not train with a racket but he will run other sessions, such as fitness and the like. Of course, there will be certain therapies. “The symptoms have calmed down, he was with a specialist at Toronto for additional tests. He also consulted our experts, of course, because we are great friends. “Now it’s important to rest with different types of procedures that can affect recovery. Surgery remains the last option.” If Djokovic does sit out the trip to New York, it will end his run of 51 consecutive appearances at grand slams and mean dropping further down the world rankings. He is currently placed fourth but is already due to slip to fifth when the list updates on Monday. Murray’s Wimbledon hopes were also hampered by injury as he limped to a five-set defeat against the American Sam Querrey. The world No1, however, looks to be feeling more positive about his troublesome hip after posting an Instagram video on Monday of him hitting balls against a practice wall. “Which opponent has no weakness, never misses and has never lost? ?the wall”, Murray wrote. The 30-year-old also posted a photo last week of himself and his physio Shane Annun during a rehab session at a swimming pool. Murray is due to play at the Canadian Open, which starts on 7 August, and then the

In a wide-ranging interview with the Seven’s Sunday Night program, the troubled star was unapologetic for the way he played tennis and lived his life. “There’s been big offers to play for different countries. Millions that ... people could only imagine,” said Tomic, who was born in Germany to a Croatian father and a Bosnian mother.

The money was insane.” Tomic, who has slid down the rankings from a high of No 17 to No 69 after a year of lacklustre displays, came under fire most recently at Wimbledon where he lost a first round match in straight sets and admitted to putting in little effort. Afterwards he described himself as being bored on court and added that critics could only dream of what he had earned by the age of 24. “Throughout my career, I’ve given 100%,” he told the Seven Network. “I’ve

So just amazing what I’ve done.” Tomic also felt he was “trapped” by the sport because he’d earned a good living from it. “It’s affected me a little bit mentally and emotionally,” he said. “So now it’s just about finding my balance and pushing on the next 10 years and being successful even more.” Tomic defended his father and sometime coach John, saying the worst he’d done was throw balls at him. But there were no good words about former Davis Cup captain and two-time US Open winner Pat Rafter. “Pat’s said a lot of bad things about me, throughout my career, and, you know, he’s always perceived as this nice guy, and this image,” said Tomic. “People don’t know him in the back of closed doors. He’s not that much of
