Novak Djokovic had big problems with his wrist during the United Cup, which scared everyone before the Australian Open, even though the tennis player and his coach Goran Ivanišević assured us that everything was fine. It turns out that they didn’t say that for nothingsince now the Australian Open announced and confirmed that Nole will have his first practice in Melbourne on Tuesday from 6:15 a.m. Serbian time.
This is a confirmation that everything is fine with his wrist, since we know very well that he would put up with another day to “rest his arm” if there was a problem, as he was often known to do at Grand Slams. For example, on the eve of the previous Australian Open, where he also had problems with injury, he hardly trained at all and only had “recovery training” in order to better prepare for the next challenge.
As announced by the organizer, Novak Djokovic is the last one who will have training at “Rod Laver Arena” on Tuesday, and for now it does not say that he will have a sparring partner. For example, Alkaraz and Rublyov will train together, or Medvedev and Dimitrov, while it is more likely that Nole will train only with his coaches.
Let’s remind you, the draw for the Australian Open is on January 11, and that’s when Novak Djokovic will find out who his potential rivals are on the way to the 25th Grand Slam in his career, or the 11th in Melbourne. The tournament starts on January 14, and we know that Nadal has already withdrawn due to injury.
