Tipsarevic to play the Koyoong Classic and probably the Australian Open

Good news for Janko Tipsarevic that had quite a tough 2013.

The former world no.8 had a bad 2013 to get down in the rankings to the 36th spot after being unable to participate in the last part of the season because of a foot injury.

Janko’s fitness didn’t allow him to play the Davis Cup final against Berdych & C. to  make it practically impossible for Serbia to win the prestigious trophy.

The good news is that Janko will join a strong line up at the Koyoong Classic in Melbourne the 8th of January in preparation of the Australian Open and participating to the first slam was not a given for Janko.

From Janko

“Kooyong is a fantastic place to prepare for the Australian Open and I’m looking forward to playing in this great event,”  he said

The other players that will take part to the event are Berdych, Wawrinka, Gasquet, Nishikori, Dimitrov, Verdasco and Hewitt
