When he returns to the Australian Open next month, Novak Djokovic is hoping for a nice reception from the crowd.
Now that the controversy over his immunisation status and deportation is finally over, Novak Djokovic is hoping for a cordial welcome from the general public when he returns to the Australian Open next month. Nine-time Melbourne Park champion Djokovic was expelled from Australia in 2022 due to concerns that he might stir up anti-vax sentiment. As a result, he was unable to play in the season’s first Grand Slam.
The world number five is happy he will have the opportunity to compete for a 10th title in Melbourne and a men’s record-tying 22nd major crown overall. Djokovic was expelled from Australia and was prohibited from returning, but that decision has been overturned.
“Let’s see, I always expect the best of myself. I’ve had the good fortune over the years to get off to a terrific start in Australia, and I enjoy performing there “Djokovic told journalists on Friday at the World Tennis League in Dubai.
Due to his anti-vaccination stance
Due to his anti-vaccination stance, Djokovic, 35, was unable to participate in two of the four major tournaments this year, including the US Open.
He did, however, complete his 2022 season on a high note, taking home victories in Tel Aviv, Astana, and the ATP Finals in Turin, as well as making it to the Paris Masters final.
He also won awards in Rome and Wimbledon and finished the season with a 42-7 win-loss record.
The Serb had previously stated his desire to continue playing into his 40s.
When asked if he still had that opinion, Djokovic replied: “I want to continue playing for as long as I can. I actually don’t have a number in my head. For me, things are going very well so far. I have nothing to grumble about. I’ll continue playing at this level as long as I have the motivation.”
