MELBOURNE: Novak Djokovic said he is taking things one day at a time as he looks to manage a hamstring injury that hampered him during his 6-1 6-7 6-2 6-0 win over French qualifier Enzo Couacaud on Thursday .The 35-year-old has had his thigh strapped up in subsequent matches, and took a medical timeout at 4-4 in the second set of his win on Thursday to receive treatment and have the strapping changed.
When asked if he could play another five matches with his injury, Djokovic told reporters,"There's two choices: leave or keep going. So I'm going to keep going ... "But it's different now, obviously. I don't know how my body's going to react. I hope for the best. I hope for the positive outcome. I'll take it day by day, match by match, and see how it goes."
In an irritated exchange with the umpire, the former world number one called on officials to do something about the disturbance. Four men in fancy dress were subsequently escorted from the arena.
