Novak Djokovic has cancelled his Australian Open practice session on Monday – sparking fears he could become the latest star to withdraw from the tournament.
The fifth seed, who struggled with a hamstring issue at the tune-up Adelaide International tournament earlier in January, has now scrapped practice for the second day in a row.
Djokovic, 35, is set to play his first-round match against Roberto Carballes Baena on Tuesday morning UK time.
Tournament organisers revealed on Monday morning British time that Djokovic’s session, which was due to begin at 7pm local time/8am GMT, had been taken off the official schedule.
The news comes after a ‘devastated’ Nick Kyrgios pulled out of his home tournament on Monday because of a knee injury.
