Former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic is in doubt for the US Open due to his elbow injury, Serbian media reported, citing the country’s Davis Cup team doctor.
Djokovic retired hurt during the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and said he was considering taking a break to recover from the long-standing injury to his right elbow.
Serbia’s Sportski Zurnal reported that the 30-yearold could face up to 12 weeks on the sidelines.
“He has a bruised bone due to excessive playing,” it quoted Zdenko Milinkovic as saying.
The 12-time Grand Slam champion won the US Open in 2011 and 2015.
This year’s tournament begins on Aug 28. A report said Djokovic would make a decision about his playing schedule over the next 24 hours and that an announcement would be made in Belgrade this week.
