Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Sunday, February 2, 2025, and welcome to listen to the afternoon newsletter brought to you by "Home of Tennis".

Last night, Beijing time, Serbian media reported that Djokovic, who was injured at the Australian Open, recently conducted a new MRI scan on the muscles in the torn muscle of his left leg, and the results showed that the injury was not very serious. As a result, Djokovic will not need to recover from the previously rumored two-month break, and he will be able to resume light training in a few days at the earliest, with the hope of returning for the Middle East season or the Sunshine double-tournament. This is great news for Djokovic fans!
