Novak Djokovic's hamstring damage scare continues to hover over his bow at the Australian Open
Djokovic drove through the hamstring strain to say the remaining week's overall Adelaide 1 and company are the favorites for a tenth name at Melbourne Park.
He has won 34 consecutive clubs in Australia, with his last defeating a shock fourth round loss to Korean Hyeon Chung at the 2018 Australian Open.
After beating Sebastian Korda in Sunday's decider, the 35-12-month-old crop discovered he had worked "late into the night" with his physio after the semi-final
But in Wednesday's fit practice with Medvedev at Rod Laver Stadium, the first time Djokovic had played in front of a Melbourne crowd since closing out the 12-month
The session was supposed to last seventy-five minutes, but Djokovic exited after Medvedev claimed the first set 6-4 in 36 minutes,
"It's a hamstring that I had trouble with in Adelaide definitely last week," Djokovic told Community Nine later on Wednesday.
"So I played hard and fast and then he apologized to him, it was information so I just want to avoid any kind of bigger scare before the Australian Open
