The 37-year-old from Belgrade has worked very hard during the off-season and seems motivated to play more this year, in order to get into the right rhythm for the most prestigious tournaments. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has already played the Brisbane International, where he was defeated by American ace Reilly Opelka in the quarterfinals.
Nole is dangerous for everyone
Despite that defeat, the Serbian legend has shown that he is in good shapeand will try to get a great result at the Australian Open. Nole was joined at Melbourne Park by his new coach Andy Murray, who will give him very useful advice during the Happy Slam.
The former Scottish champion was not present in Brisbane last week due to a trip with his family, but he is ready to help Novak in his attempt to win the 25th Grand Slam title of his glorious career. The current world number 7 has already started practicing in Melbourne and had a practice session with 4-time Grand Slam champion Carlitos Alcaraz.

During a lengthy interview with 'RMC', French veteran Richard Gasquet analyzed Nole's chances of winning another Major at almost 38 years old: Its possible that hell still win Grand Slams.
I dont know if its ever happened, at 37, to be so strong in a sport, to be number 2 or 3 in the world, to say to yourself that he can still win Grand Slams. Its unique, its incredible.
The Serbian ace will be a very dangerous player for everyone at the 2025 AO, where he has won ten times, marking a piece of tennis history.
