Can Novak Djokovic win the Australian Open 2023 title?
After a tough start to the season, everything seems to be working well for Novak Djokovic. He will be hoping to end the year on a high note by winning the 2022 ATP Finals. Novak Djokovic won the 2022 Wimbledon gentleman’s title and that gave him new energy and confidence. He won three ATP singles titles which include the Italian Open, Tel Aviv Open, and the Astana Open.
He also played the final match of the 2022 Paris Masters tournament against eventual winner Holger Rune. He is looking great in the ATP Finals tournament. He defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in his first Group stage match.
But there was still one question that was in the mind of every tennis fan all this while- Will Novak Djokovic be allowed to play in the Australian Open 2023? It must have brought a great amount of relief to Novak Djokovic and many tennis fans in the world to hear that the nine-time Australian Open champion will be playing Down Under next year.
However, there are a few tennis fans who are not happy to hear this news. They also do not agree with Rennae Stubbs. Here are a few reactions coming in on the above post.
The Serbian will have the chance to win the first Grand Slam of the year for a record tenth time. However, it will be a great challenge. Younger lads will be looking to lay their hands on the trophy. Also, there is the threat of Rafael Nadal who is the defending champion. He would love to add another title to his tally. But the 35-year-old loves to play in Australia and it is expected that he will be eager to start his 2023 season with a bang.
