In the world of tennis, few people know Rafael Nadal better on the court than Novak Djokovic. As the long-awaited return of the Spanish player approaches, Djokovic has shared his thoughts on Nadal's comeback.
"I always hope that he gives his best on the court. I'm sure he trains with the intention of winning titles, including a Grand Slam," Djokovic said during his visit to Saudi Arabia for an exhibition match.
Djokovic, who has won 24 majors, two more than Nadal, holds a great deal of respect for his rival. Having competed against each other for two decades, Djokovic understands the level of dedication and determination that Nadal brings to the game.
Despite rumors of their decline, Djokovic believes that both he and Nadal have proven these judgments wrong time and time again. "They have often predicted the end of our careers, but we have shown that those judgments were incorrect," he stated.
Djokovic has closely followed Nadal's progress and believes that the Spanish player is ready to make a strong comeback. "I have seen videos of him training, and it is evident that he is giving it his all. Some players who have trained with him have told me that he will return to his best level. I think he is prepared to achieve great things this year," Djokovic said.
Nadal, currently ranked 670th in the world, faces the possibility of being paired with a top player in the first round of the Australian Open. This could potentially include a match against Djokovic himself. Aware of the potential challenge, Djokovic would approach such a match with caution.
The tennis world eagerly awaits Nadal's return, and Djokovic's perspective adds to the anticipation. As the two veterans continue to battle it out on the court, fans can expect an exciting and highly competitive Australian Open.
