Even though he was not at his best physically, Novak played exceptionally well in Adelaide. He won his set 6-3 against Sinner, which is not easy as the Italian has been in great form. This is certainly a positive sign for the Serb, especially since 2 big events are on the horizon.
The first event is the ATP Cup which begins on the 1st of February. This is a team event, and Djokovic-led Serbia are the defending champions! They are surely looking to triumph there again, even though it has been reduced to a 4-day event in 2021.
