Novak Djokovic Not Dealing with Injury Despite Viral Video, Will Play BNP Paribas Open

Novak Djokovic told reporters that he is not dealing with an injury despite a video showing him limping into an airport a few weeks ago, and he added that he's "feeling good" and planning to play the Sunshine Double (BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells and Miami Open).

"It was really, yeah, awkward to see that video, because I arrived to the airport and I hit myself really badly as I was walking out, because it was very early, I think, 4 or 5 a.m. I was just limping because I hit myself badly in the ankle," Djokovic said, per ESPN.com's D'Arcy Maine.

"That's all. It was just a hit. It was nothing else. But then people connected it to the injury and thought it was something escalating and coming back.

"But anyway, I'm feeling good. I really look forward coming to Indian Wells and Miami this year. I'll play the Sunshine Double first time after, I think, six years."

Djokovic suffered a muscle tear in his left hamstring that forced him to retire after one set in the Australian Open semifinals against Alexander Zverev on Jan. 13.

He didn't compete again until Feb. 17 in the Round of 32 at the Qatar Open. Djokovic fell to Matteo Berrettini in straight sets.

The aforementioned video showed Djokovic heading into the airport following that tournament.

Djokovic, who will be coached by Andy Murray for both events, will play the winner of Botic van de Zandschulp and Nick Kyrgios in the Round of 64 at Indian Wells on Saturday.
