Australian Open: Djokovic hits back at injury critics

The Serb retired hurt after one set of his final-four clash with Alexander Zverev on Friday due to a hamstring problem he suffered during his epic battle with Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals.

When it became clear that Djokovic would not be able to finish the semi-final match, some sections of the Rod Laver Arena crowd jeered him.

This followed comments from John McEnroe, who commentated on the clash between Djokovic and Alcaraz, suggesting the injury was not genuine after the 37-year-old had taken an off-court medical time out, saying: "This isn't the first time we've seen this routine. Don't be fooled."

However, after undergoing tests to find out the extent of the injury, Djokovic posted an MRI scan of his hamstring on social media, with the caption: "Thought I'd leave this here for all the sports injury "experts" out there."
