Finally, there is something to cheer for Novak Djokovic fans in Australia. A few days ago they poured in their disappointment after seeing their icon getting snubbed from the social media posters of the Australian Open. But now, after seeing the easy draw for the reigning AO champion, they must be over the moon. However, the tennis world at large is enraged.
Novak Djokovic had landed in Australia after having one of the best seasons of his career. With a total of 7 titles in 2023 including 3 Grand Slam triumphs. However, the world no.1 didn’t have a good start to 2024 as he faced a defeat to the Aussie, Alex de Minaur in their United Cup clash. That was Djokovic’s first loss in Australia in 6 years. Can he put the disappointment behind him and make a comeback on the biggest stage in Melbourne Park?
