Watch as Novak Djokovic trains and holds a press conference in Belgrade on Wednesday (22 February).
After working out, the Serbian tennis star addressed a recent hamstring injury and his hopes of playing in the upcoming Indian Wells and Miami Masters competitions.
Djokovic won the Australian Open in January despite carrying the problem.
It had been reported that he suffered a 3cm tear in his hamstring during the tournament.
The world No1 has also applied for a “special permit” to enter the US and play the upcoming Masters 1000 events.
Unvaccinated travellers are still banned from visiting the country until mid-May and Djokovic’s brother has already admitted that the permit is “something that unfortunately is not in our hands.”
The tennis also provided an update on whether his request has been granted at Wednesday’s press conference.
