Tennis: Criticism of my injury recovery was 'unfair' - Aus Open champ Djokovic

Newly-crowned 2021 Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic said the criticism of his recovery from injury to lifting the title at Melbourne Park on Sunday was "unfair at times." The Serb said he tore an abdominal muscle during his third-round victory over American Taylor Fritz, which led to some question marks over his subsequent recovery and title success. Top seed Djokovic won his ninth Australian Open men's singles title and 18th Grand Slam crown overall following a straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 6-2, victory over Russia's fourth seed Daniil Medvedev on Sunday.
