Following an incredible season, Novak will try to recover from a huge mental and physical fatigue in Abu Dhabi where he will also prepare for his debut at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship (29th to 31st December) vs. Gael Monfils.
Djokovic said; ‘It’s great to be in Abu Dhabi for the first time. With the sun out and first class facilities, it already seems like an ideal way to kick off my season. With such a strong line-up and my defence of the Australian Open only weeks ahead, I’m here to prepare and the best preparation is winning.I am looking forward to experiencing all that Abu Dhabi has to offer – from great tennis to Coldplay for New Year. I have heard great things about the Emirate and the crowds in Abu Dhabi – there will be some real battles out on centre court and I am to give the fans what they want with some attacking tennis.’
‘With the World Number 1 already in Abu Dhabi ahead of the most exciting day one line-up in the tournament’s history means it’s nearly show-time for all sports fans. With Novak playing on 29th December, you know there is going to be some explosive tennis on centre court. It’s not to be missed.’ Amina Taher, Group Communications Manager at Mubadala, added: ‘There is no finer example of Mubadala’s commitment to take this tennis into the community than having the reigning World Number 1 take time to visit the Mubadala Interactive Tennis Zone.’
