Novak Djokovic was denied the opportunity to win a record-extending 10th Australian Open title last year after his deportation but he returns to Rod Laver Arena holding no grudges when he begins his campaign in Melbourne on Tuesday.

The Serbian was deported on the eve of the 2022 tournament due to his COVID vaccine stance but the 35-year-old has let bygones be bygones“In a way, if I do hold grudges, probably if I’m not able to move on, I wouldn’t be here. Also I have to say that the amount of positive experiences I had in Australia overwhelm the negative experience maybe of last year,” says Djokovic, who received a warm welcome from the crowd last week during a practice match with Nick Kyrgios.

Winning the title in Melbourne will also make Djokovic the second player to win one Grand Slam at least 10 times after Nadal’s 14 titles at Roland Garros. As Djokovic aims to equal defending champion Rafa Nadal’s tally of 22 Grand Slam titles, Ons Jabeur renews her quest for a first when the Tunisian takes on Slovenia’s Tamara Zidansek.

“It’s been always great for me that I tell you guys what I want to achieve, I tell you my goals. I put it out there, make a promise to you guys, I hate to break my promises. I see it that way,” she says.
