When Novak Djokovic made a rare doubles appearance at the Adelaide International on Monday. Tennis fans greeted him with a boisterous welcome in his first match in Australia in over two years. Together with Vasek Pospisil of Canada, they competed in a doubles match and fell short to Tomislav Brkic and Gonzalo Escobar 4-6, 6-3, 10/5, but the crowd was overwhelmingly supportive the entire time.
The Serbian superstar was expelled from the nation prior to the 2022 Australian Open for failing to have a Covid vaccination, and was thereafter prohibited from entering for three years.
But the prohibition was lifted in November. And later this month he will try to capture a tenth Australian Open championship.
The spectators who were able to enter the court were solidly in support of Djokovic. As the match was played on a crowded outdoor court.
Fans chanted “Novak, Novak” as he entered the room, drawing thunderous applause.
Despite the fact that there were many Serbian flags flying courtside, it was clear that everyone was rooting for the 35-year-old, who stuck behind to sign autographs and take photographs after the game.
The first singles match of the year for Djokovic is against Frenchman Constant Lestienne.
