Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with Tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Returning to competition in the first week of the 2025 season, Novak Djokovic wants to bang his fist on the table. Returning to 7th place in the world after a season without a Grand Slam title, the Serbian is in the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 tournament in Brisbane after his victory against Gaël Monfils this Thursday morning. The Frenchman was unable to do anything against his opponent as usual and he could see that the level of play displayed by Djokovic was already interesting.
Now driven by Andy Murray after the incredible announcement of this new collaboration, Novak Djokovic will want to find the path to success in Grand Slam in 2025. The Serbian wants to make an impression from the first weeks and that's Gaël Monfils who paid the price by suffering a 20th defeat against the former world number 1 in as many confrontations.
“He was good”
Beaten in two sets (6/3 6/3) by Novak Djokovic having only had one opportunity to break it, Gaël Monfils was dominated quite easily against the solidity of the Serb. “Novak played well, the ball came out of his racket really well, he moved forward well and above all he served well, better than I thought. Frankly, he was good (smiles). Me, I'm starting my year with a good match against a young guy (victory against Basavareddy 6–4, 4–6, 6–1) and a match against a top 10 entry having done good things even if it's not was not enough. There are times where I would have liked to change certain choices, but there were some good sequences. When we play early in the year for a top 10, it's seeing where we are. I saw where I am” he reacted at a press conference according to comments reported by The Team.
