Australian Open > Gilles Simon, sparring by Novak Djokovic: “As long as it’s about pushing the ball backhanded in the middle, I manage”

Present in Melbourne since he is still part of Daniil Medvedev's team, Gilles Simon treated himself to a little fun with his racket in hand by playing the role of sparring partner against Novak Djokovic.

« As long as it’s a matter of pushing the ball backhanded in the middle, I manage.”

Novak begins his tournament this Monday. He is scheduled to face the young American Nishesh Basavareddy who had a big tournament in Auckland, reaching the semi‐finals beaten by Gaël Monfils.

Play 1is an unknown opponent is never easy but Novak seems to have everything in place to make a great entry into this Australian Open.
