British number two Dan Evans is highly impressed with Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic. The 35-year-old has played only 11 tournaments this year and won five out of them. While Djokovic missed out on the Australian Open and the US Open this year, he has got the confirmation to play the Grand Slam event Down Under in 2023. And Dan Evans recently gave his verdict on the Serbian legend’s form and his chances of winning another major title.

According to Evans, Djokovic is in great form and will be the player to beat in the 2023 season. Here’s what he said.

Evans places his bet on Djokovic

After the confirmation came from Australia, Novak Djokovic will make his return to the Australian Open in 2023. Evans believes that he is going to have an amazing 2023 season and is the favorite to win the Australian Open title.

“Novak was around and I saw him in the gym a bit and had a couple of chats with him. When you look at him in the gym, he looks like a gymnast – the way he stretches it’s like watching a 14-year-old. So if his body doesn’t break down he has to be in a great position,” Evans said to the Daily Mail.
