Novak Djokovic wants to start his 2018 season in Australia, either at the ATP tournament in Brisbane or at the Hopman Cup in Perth.
Novak Djokovic explained at the edge of a basketball game in Athens that he was still injured.The “Djoker” has only done training outside the tennis court.Djokovic’s plan is to be fully fit at the Australian Open and to play a preparatory tournament beforehand.
Doha will not be this, however, as the Serbian said.The ATP World Tour 250 tournament in Qatar’s desert emirate played Djokovic from 2015 to 2017 and won in 2016 and 2017.The decision is made between Brisbane and the Hopman Cup in Perth.In 2013, he joined Ana Ivanovic at the unofficial Mixed World Championships, which would guarantee at least three singles.Aleksandra Krunic and Jelena Jankovic are potential partners for 2018.
In Brisbane, Djokovic started in 2009, where he failed in the first round due to Ernest’s Gulbis.Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray have already signed up for the hard court tournament in the Australian state as draught horses.After Djokovic’s cancellation, Doha will not be able to attract a “Big Four”player next year.
