Novak Djokovic is the top favorite to win the Australian Open and according to Jannik Sinner, he is already in great shape. The Italian player had the opportunity to practice with the former world number 1 and he was impressed with his fitness.

“I trained with Nole, and I was able to directly notice that he is in good shape. It is clear that he wants to win and is determined. It is amazing to have him back here, because I think he’s one of the best players in the world, if not the best.

I don’t know him that well, but for sure, he is very motivated. He will try to win every game he plays, every tournament he plays, but I think physically, he is very good and moves very well.”
