"I think it's a good idea for me to leave this here for all the 'sport injury experts' out there," Djokovic wrote.

The 37-year-old veteran did not provide additional information, such as a definite diagnosis he might have received or estimated his recovery time.

Previously, as reported by Foxnews, Sunday, January 26, Djokovic looked in pain and had to end the match after losing in the first set through a tie-break. This decision was taken after a fierce match against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, where Djokovic was seen wearing a shield on his left foot.

Djokovic himself stated that he had tried his best to overcome the injury.

"I did everything I could to overcome the muscle rips I was experiencing," Djokovic told a news conference. "Towards the end of the first set, the pain is getting worse. It feels too heavy for me right now. It's a unfortunate ending, but I've tried."

The upload of evidence of Djokovic's MRI immediately drew various reactions. Some netizens remain skeptical, while others provide support and hope that Djokovic can recover soon.
