Great news from Australia as it has been confirmed that Djokovic and Murray will be back to the Australian Open. It’s also very possible a return of Serena Williams that became a mother just a few weeks ago.
From the organization
It was the tournament director Craig Tiley t confirm the news saying
“I’m very happy to confirm that all the top players will be back in Melbourne in January,” Tiley said at the tournament’s launch. “On the men’s side, there has been a lot of concern and conjecture around Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori.”
“I can tell you that in talking to Andy, he has been training and he is preparing for having a great year in 2018. How much would this year have hurt him, to watch over the entire year Roger and Rafa share four grand slam titles — he would not have like that.
As competitive as Andy is, we know he’s back, and he’ll want to improve his current ranking of number three in the world and to get back to number one.”
… talking about Serena
Craig added “Serena, the competitor that she is, she wants to win more than the 23 Grand Slam titles that she has. We have a special relationship with Serena, the Williams family, both her and Venus.
She wants to come back in 2018 and defend her title. Obviously, at training now, there are several months to go, and it will be up to her as far as where she is with her fitness. Serena will be back. We look forward to welcoming her and again go on that journey of breaking the all-time record for the most number of Grand Slams.”
