Djoker keen for return to Aussie Open

NOVAK Djokovic has revealed plans to try to win a 10th Australian Open, despite facing a threeyear ban following his deportation from Australia last month.

In an interview with Serbian TV station RTS, Djokovic said: “I want to come back to Australia. A lot of professional and personal beautiful things happened to me there. Despite all this, I have a great connection with Australia.”

Whether Djokovic can come back to Australia any time soon remains the big question. He has publicly stated he won’t get vaccinated against Covid and is willing to miss grand slam titles to stand up for his belief.

There is also the matter of his ban from the Australian government after his deportation, but he can apply for special dispensation to enter the country.
