The 24-time singles Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is all set to play in yet another season after having an incredible year on tour this year winning three out of the four Slams. As the Serbian legend prepares to play in his most successful tournament of the season, he will be starting his campaign at Perth.

In a recent interview, the World No.1 talked about competing at the 2024 Australian Open and how is he expecting a full crowd in the stadiums. Speaking further, the Serbian stated, 

I'm excited to play; I came in earlier than I normally do due to the schedule because the United Cup starts before the New Year, but representing Serbia is always the greatest honor and pride. So, hopefully we can have a packed house with a lot of people coming to watch our matches.

It's been a while since I was here last time so it's great. I'm happy when I return to Australia, where I had probably the biggest Grand Slam success in my career. I have great support here and don't really have a plan about what's going to happen next year, and I'll take it season by season.

Novak Djokovic had an incredible 2023 season

The 24-time singles Grand Slam champion has had one of the best seasons of his career so far. The Serbian reached all four finals of the Grand Slam Majors, winning three out of them.
