Novak Djokovic, the fifth-ranked player in the world, is prepared for Adelaide International 1, which gets underway on January 1, and is confident he can win.

In Adelaide sixteen years ago, the Serbian, who was 19 at the time, won his third ATP Tour title, and he will attempt to win there once more.

“The field is really powerful. You have Rublev, Felix, and Medvedev. You have some top-notch men. You can also face Thanasi Kokkinakis, the champion’s defender, in the preliminary rounds, right? In fact, that might be enjoyable. It may be entertaining to play Thanasi in front of his home supporters, “ATP cited Djokovic as saying on Thursday.

At the ATP 250, Djokovic is aware that he must be focused from the first ball. The 35-year-old pointed out that some of the top athletes in the world, including former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, will be competing. Holger Rune, the winner of the Paris Masters, Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, a semifinalist in the 2022 ATP Finals, and Italian Jannik Sinner.

“I always have confidence in my abilities and think I can prevail in whatever competition I enter. I feel like I deserve to have that type of, um, mental attitude given the career I’ve had. Everything has certainly changed. There has been something of a generational shift due to the large number of young men on the tour. But despite the older players, Rafael Nadal and I are still going strong “said he.

“I am aware of what I need to do to compete with them and be a title contender both here and in Melbourne. I have a lot of positive emotions and have a lot of confidence that I can do it again and go far because of the positive memories and history I have of Australia “Added he.

The Serbian has had success in Australia for a long time. Nine of his 21 Grand Slam victories have come at the Australian Open.

“The aim is to reach Melbourne’s top. I want to perform at my peak there. With all of my accomplishments at this point in my career, I guess every significant tournament victory offers the chance to write more history. Of course, that makes me feel incredibly humble. It’s a huge challenge as well, but it’s also quite inspiring. I have plenty of inspiration and drive to give my best performance “said Djokovic.

Djokovic is currently entirely focused on getting off to a strong start in Adelaide. He was viewing highlights from the victory he achieved in the city in 2007 by defeating Australian Chris Guccione this morning. Djokovic will bet that those experiences will motivate him to win next week.

“It’s a wonderful place. Adelaidens and Australians in general are huge tennis and sports fans. It is a sporty country. Hopefully a lot of people will be watching and we can have a wonderful time “added the Serbian.
