Novak Djokovic is preparing for his first appearance in 2022.
On Monday, he will play with Lorenzo Muzeti at the start of the tournament in Dubai, one of the few that allows unvaccinated players to play.
"I have to respect the rules. Whatever tournament I can play, I'll try to get to that country and play. Now I really can't choose. Wherever I have the opportunity to play, I'll take it, because this is what I love to do ", Djokovic said to Sport Klub.
"I can say that I'm well prepared, as much as possible, and I'm excited to be back on tour. That's all I feel at the moment."
Djokovic said that there were many emotions after returning from Australia.
"I needed some time to reflect on all that, and to mentally rest. When I freshened up, I was looking forward to playing tennis again and competing".
Djokovic is coming back, but if Danil Medvedev wins the title in Acapulco, he will become the new world number one on February 28.
"Medvedev deserves to be number one and it will happen sooner or later. If it happens this Sunday, I will be the first to congratulate him," Djokovic said.
