Djokovic

Novak was free in the first round, starting participation in the Masters in Italy on Tuesday.
Djokovic had two and a half weeks of rest, since he did not play at the Masters in Madrid after the ATP category 250 tournament in Belgrade.
His opponent is the 31st tennis player in the world, Taylor Fritz, with whom he has met three times so far.

Due to the fact that he defended the title, he remained at the same number of points, 12.030, and his advantage over second-placed Rafael Nadal is now 2.180 points.
Djokovic is getting closer to breaking Roger Federer's record of 310 weeks at the top of the ATP list, and that will officially happen on the list that will be published on March 8.

For the ninth time in his career and the third time in a row, in the grand final, the Serb defeated the fourth seed, the Russian Danilo Medvedev, with 114: 5, 6: 2, 6: 2, after 114 minutes of the game.
It was the 18th Grand Slam trophy for the first player in the world who is expected to break Roger Federer's record for the number of weeks at the top of the ATP list on March 8.

The organizers decided that Djokovic, against the qualifier from Russia, will play the last match of the day again at the Rod Laver Arena.
This was also the case in the previous two matches, against Milo Raoni and Aleksandar Zverev, which gave him more time for rest and recuperation, considering the abdominal injury he is suffering from the match of the third round.

The champion of the Australian Open, after 207 minutes of the game, was stronger than the injury and the opponent, defeated the American Taylor Fritz, 7: 6 (1), 6: 4, 3: 6, 4: 6, 6: 2.

This information was placed by the local media, although it was not confirmed by the organizers, so that the Grand Slam in Melbourne could be held in March or April.
Djokovic was surprised when a British journalist connected the Australian Open and vaccination. The journalist said that the vaccine would be needed in April.

Djokovic will appear at the Cincinnati Masters (August 22) and the US Open (August 31), two tournaments that will be played in the "bubble" in New York.
Novak confirmed that he will travel to New York and arrive there on August 15, a week before the beginning of Cincinnati.

The Serbian tennis player talked about the upcoming spectacle of the Adria tour, which will be held in Belgrade, Zadar, Banja Luka and Podgorica.
"I am very pleased to announce Jelena Jankovic's return to the tennis court after more than two years," Djokovic said.
After that, Jankovic briefly joined the program via a video call and said:

Djokovic said that he was happy that he decided to change his diet because, according to his own confession, he ate meat three times a day.
Furthermore, Djokovic revealed that he does not eat for 16 hours.
At the same time, he disclosed his daily meals.
