Speaking on Eurosport 11 days before the start of the Australian Open, Mats Wilander has designated, and without much surprise, Novak Djokovic as the big favorite for this 2023 edition. And the Swede explains why, in his opinion, the Serb is on a mission.
“I don’t think we’ve ever seen a tennis player so hungry in terms of wanting revenge or winning matches. I don’t think anyone has ever been hungrier than Novak. I think a lot of people thought at the time that it was the right decision because you can’t make someone like Novak Djokovic a privileged person, but this year I think he’s going to be very well received. Novak is the favorite for many reasons. First of all, he won the Australian Open nine times, the surface is perfect for him. The Australian Open also has a history of players winning here multiple times and consistently. I speak from my own experience, I have won three times here. »
