(Fast News Agency, Abu Dhabi) Nearly half a year after withdrawing from the Wimbledon Open due to injury, Serbian tennis "king of the sky" Jokovic is finally going to return to the court. King Qiao will play in an exhibition match first and then officially return at the Qatar Open next week.
Jokovic will participate in an exhibition match called the Mubadala World Tennis Championships this weekend in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi , and then participate in the Qatar Open as the number one seed next week. Jokovic has never had a major injury before his career, but he withdrew from the Wimbledon quarter-finals this year due to an elbow injury and was absent for half a year and did not participate in the US Open and the year-end finals. Jokovic didn't start swinging to hit in Monaco until last month.
When interviewed before the Abu Dhabi competition, Jokovic said: "For the past year and a half, it was like taking a roller coaster. I have never had surgery in my life, and I have never encountered major sports injuries, which has caused me to leave the arena for so long. I have never missed any Grand Slam in the past. Recovering an injury is a major decision, but I have no choice but to stop. It felt like, forget it, you can't even hold your hands up."
Jokovic said that injuries have made him cherish his career more than before. He said: "I learned a lesson after being injured, that is, in my future career, I will never allow myself to be injured to this level. I have to learn to be honest with myself, which is very important. It is really not easy for me to be away for so long. I can't wait to get back to the game, but this period of absence is a good experience for me. Perhaps because I have not been seriously injured, I have made myself feel too comfortable. To some extent, this time is a necessary experience."
Because I haven't participated in the competition for half a year, Jokovic's current world ranking has fallen to 12th place. He will chase his seventh Australian Open trophy at the Australian Open. Currently, Jokovic is training under the guidance of retired star Agassi . Another retired star Stupenick has recently joined Jokovic's coaching team. In addition to King Qiao, there will be a long-lost old face in the Mubadala Tennis Championship. The United States " Black Pearl " Serena Williams will face this year's French Open women's singles champion Ye Lianna today. This is Serena's first time since giving birth.
