Overview

• A minute-long Montenegro practice clip captures Djokovic leaning on physio Claudio Zamaglia as he receives treatment on his right thigh.
• He aggravated the thigh when he slipped on match point in his Wimbledon quarter-final and visibly struggled with mobility in the semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner.
• Djokovic has not played since Wimbledon, withdrawing from the Canadian Open with an injury and skipping the Cincinnati Masters for a non-medical reason.
• At his Wimbledon press conference he called the issue a leg problem he did not expect to keep him sidelined for long and said he aimed to be fit for New York.
• His recent medical history includes a 2024 medial meniscus surgery and earlier hamstring troubles, making his participation and form in the US Open uncertain.
