Novak Djokovic of Serbia returns to the Australian Open after missing the previous event in 2022 due to his position regarding the mandatory Covid vaccination policy for Australia Visa. Tennis fans anticipate an exciting match when Djokovic returns to challenge Nadal for the record of 22 grand slam title victories.
Djokovic may, however, be experiencing fitness issues prior to the start of the tournament in Melbourne, according to shocking new information. He had previously missed a training session due to hamstring issues. On Saturday, the 35-year-old made some remarks to dispel any rumors regarding his injury.
“Well, to be honest, I’ve been having trouble with that for the past seven days. However, hopefully not the primary issue. I’ve been able to practice, compete, and play practice sets thus far. That is encouraging, therefore,” Djokovic stated.
“Obviously, I’m being slightly more cautious. To conserve energy for the following week, I won’t participate fully in the training sessions. “I hope it won’t be a problem for me then,” he added.
The Serbian tennis star also talked about the possibility of winning his 22nd grand slam title and becoming the greatest male singles tennis player ever. In his distinguished career, Djokovic has won the Australian Open nine times.
It appears that way. That is to say, I continue competing and playing professional tennis because I want to be the best and win the world’s biggest tournaments. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this,” Djokovic said. It is not secret at all.” The four slams, which have always been our sport’s most important competitions, are listed here. Additionally, it played a significant role in my eagerness to return to Australia: due to my performance in the past here,” he added.
On Tuesday, Djokovic will play his first tournament match against Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain.
