Now coached by Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic will try at 37 to win an 11^e Australian Open, synonymous with 25^e major coronation, in order to overtake Margaret Court and become the only Grand Slam record holder, men and women combined.

The former trainer of Venus and Serena Williams, Rick Macci, thinks the Serbian is capable of going all the way in Melbourne but on two conditions.

Djokovic will make his high school debut on Monday against 19-year-old American prospect Nishesh Basavareddy, 133^e world.
