suffer an injury during his Wimbledon quarter-final match with Felix Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n<p>The seven-time Wimbledon champion, who is seeded seventh, took to Centre Court to face No 3 seed Auger-Aliassime on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The match looked like the standout clash of the men\u2019s quarter-final lineup, and both players made a strong start in hot conditions in London.<\/p>\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> won the first point of his service game at 4-4, he took a lengthy pause to stretch out his left leg at the back of the court before resuming play.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-time Grand Slam champion won the next three points to hold serve at love, but he then took a medical timeout to receive treatment on his leg from the physio.<\/p>\n<p>The 39-year-old Serb was frequently seen grimacing between points, and he continued to stretch out his leg at times.<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon News<\/h2>\n<p><a

He gave a bit of an \u2018Oooh\u2019,\u201d said Woodbridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the way he is stretching, it looks like it could be the calf or the Achilles or potentially the plantar fascia area of the foot itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are testing the stability of the ankle into the calf at the minute, which isn\u2019t a good injury. It is one you tend to get at the backend of your career rather than at any other point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Australian added: \u201cThis really is a tough period for Felix Auger-Aliassime because he has to stay so concentrated on his own end of the court and on his own game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe cannot afford to get drawn into Novak Djokovic\u2019s issues, such as wondering whether he is alright or whether he will carry on. It is a hard thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the discomfort Djokovic was clearly feeling, his level largely remained high in the first set, and he converted his fifth set point to win an epic tiebreak 12-10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/marcos-baghdatis-interview-picks-novak-djokovic-jannik-sinner-wimbledon\">Marcos Baghdatis reveals if he wants Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic suffers injury scare during Wimbledon match with Felix Auger-Aliassime Ewan West 07 Jul 2026 6:52 PM Novak Djokovic receives treatment Novak Djokovic has sparked concern after appearing to suffer an injury during his Wimbledon quarter-final match with Felix Auger-Aliassime.
