Nole is registered on the entry list for the Brisbane tournament (starting on 29 December) which will open a crucial year: the program is ambitious, coach Murray can make the difference
Novak Djokovic worked with the lights off to prepare for 2025, a decisive year for him. The crossroads is clear: close to 38 springs, the Serbian will either be reborn from the ashes of 2024 and return to being constant and competitive or for him the doors of that word never uttered until now, retirement, could open. He doesn’t want this Nole, not at all. “During the off-season I will work hard. I just needed to recharge and refresh a bit after an exhausting year,” the Serbian had said, and that’s exactly what he did. Few, very few appearances on social media, as well as declarations, with his new coach at his side, his friend and old rival Andy Murray, who has the task of reviving those who almost always beat him during his career.

The bet is intriguing and is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the debut of the 24-time Slam winner, which will take place at the Brisbane tournament (starting on 29 December), tickles the imagination of all fans and not only, also because it does not he will only register for the singles tournament, but also for the doubles tournament together with Nick Kyrgios. Djokovic’s plan for 2025 is to play more tournaments and therefore play more (in 2024 he only participated in 12 events), and obviously try to win as many as possible. Slams above all, to at least try to reach 25, which would make him the most successful human being in the history of the majors.
he’s not the man to beat

It won’t be easy, the Serbian knows this very well. One of the great news of this season is that for the first time in years, Djokovic is no longer the man to beat, the most feared, the one to be afraid of on the court. In Australia, his reign for years (he won in Melbourne 10 times), the favorites are others, Jannik Sinner first and foremost, the man who took the throne away from him first at the Rod Laver Arena and then in the world rankings. To do this, say those who know him well (such as the captain of Serbia, Viktor Troicki), Djokovic trained this off-season as he hadn’t done in a long, long time, with newfound stimuli. Will it be enough? We’ll know soon, starting in Brisbane.
