Djoker's back: Less than a year after his high-profile visa saga and deportation, the campaign is now on in earnest for Djokovic to chase a remarkable 10th Australian Open title.
last January, the campaign is now on in earnest for Djokovic to chase a remarkable 10th title at Melbourne Park next month.
Nadal famously won his 21st major with a come-from-behind win over Daniil Medvedev in the final. Then on his cherished Roland Garros clay courts at the next slam, Nadal won his record-extending 22nd major title.But Djokovic finished the year in such style and hot form that he was barely disadvantaged by missing the two hardcourt majors which affected his ability to travel to Australia and the United States respectively.
Tiley also moved to soften expectations on Nick Kyrgios, declaring that players having to handle pressure from home-town crowds was “not that straightforward”. Barty experienced immense pressure in recent years before she added the Australian Open trophy to her Roland Garros and Wimbledon triumphs, slams won in 2019 and 2021 respectively. To a lesser extent, big things are expected of Kyrgios, who has reached the fourth round once since his Australian Open quarter-final effort in 2015.
“Because it’s a very difficult thing to do as a player. Only they can really talk about it, but responding to the pressure is not that straightforward.
