Google Translate said:
Serbian tennis player during the US Open final against Wawrinka twice asked for a medical time-out, because his nails fell off the fingers of her right leg.
Google Translate with its high quality information again :worship:

Anyway, this sounds pretty minor but I wonder if he will be able to play at a good level as soon as Asia? Looking more like skipping it and being ready for Paris and WTF would be a better idea.

Actually for once the translation of google was correct.
I wonder if he comes back for Beijing and if so, we see him sliding around the court.
Article says he is expected to play Beijing. If he really needs a surgery it may come a week too early though

Disgusting attempt to asterisk Wawrinka's slam victory once again :mad: :no:

Don't think so. Fitness and the capacity to remain healthy is part of the game, and Wawrinka is arguably the only player who can claim to have beaten Djokovic on fitness and stamina. Not even Nadal could say that.

Get better, champ.

The article says he'll PROBABLY need to operate the toe and that he'll be back for Peking.

It also said that Vajda stated that the toe was infected so the rest of the nail needs to be removed.

I don't know how reliable a Montenegrian online news portal is, but if it's anything like the Croatian ones, it's not reliable at all. Usually shitty journalists with yellow paper news.

you can't really blame us b/c every since Wimbledon Djokovic has been giving a millions of "reasons" for his losses.

Toe, wrist, shoulder, personal issue, lack of preparation aka too much partying and god knows what else. the toe issues seems legit given the pic we saw in the uso final + this surgery but the rest? :lol:

I've lost many toe nails just from playing twice a week. In fact, both of my toe nails are black underneath from bleeding right now. It's no big deal....

I suppose you can "operate" on the toe for an ingrown toe nail if that is what's causing the bleeding? :shrug:
