Novak Djokovic seems to be already in great shape ahead of his Australian Open campaign. According to tennis legend and three-time Australian Open champion Mats Wilander, the Serbian sensation is the favourite number 1 to win the title. Djokovic has already won the title 9 times in Melbourne. Despite his struggle in January last year when he was deported, Novak had a fantastic reception in Adelaide, where he has been playing in the local ATP 250 tournament.
“I think Novak Djokovic is the number one favourite for many, many reasons. I mean, obviously, one reason is that he’s won the Australian Open nine times. The surface is perfect for him,” Mats commented.
“When you play the way Novak Djokovic plays, he doesn’t have ups and downs. Everybody is not 100% ready in Australia. Some are very ready, some are not ready, and he is always somewhat ready. Somewhat ready for him means he’s the favourite,” added Wilander.
