Novak Djokovic, after a four-set victory against Nishesh Basavareddy, expressed confidence in his ability to win an 11th Australian Open title and his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam crown. Djokovic acknowledged a sluggish start but highlighted his successful comeback, crediting his new coach Andy Murray for his guidance.
MELBOURNE – Novak Djokovic said the way he fought back after losing the opening set of his first-round match bodes well in his quest for an 11th Australian Open title and record 25th Grand Slam crown.
But the Serbian slowly began to get his measure, battling through 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 with Murray sitting quietly courtside on Rod Laver Arena in one of the newly introduced "coaching pods"."As far as my performance, I didn't start really well," he said. "I ended up I think the match in a good fashion. I think that it's important. It counts mentally for me, for the rest of the tournament.""I was very impressed by him. I think the whole stadium was really," Djokovic said.
Djokovic hired long-time rival Murray, who retired last year, to help him get back to winning ways after a lean 2024 where he failed to collect a major for the first time since 2017.The Serb said it was great having Murray in his corner during the match.
