The world's best tennis player, Novak Djokovic, held a press conference before the start of the Australian Open, where he spoke about his wrist injury.

Djokovic injured his wrist at the United Cup, so he did not train for several days.

"My wrist is fine. I've had time since the last United Cup match to rest well. So far I'm pain-free in training. It looks good. It's not as serious as the injuries I had in 2021 and last year, those were worse injuries. I can't predict if he will come back, we have to see", Djokovic said.

Djokovic was troubled by an abdominal muscle at the 2021 Australian Open, and Loja last year. However, both times he won the trophy in Melbourne.

“It's no secret that I've verbalized my goals and that I want to win every Slam, but I'm just hoping now that I can start the season with a win in Melbourne. This is the field where I have achieved great things. I hope I can be close to the level I showed last year, that was one of the highest levels I showed here. It's been a long year, first Melbourne, then everything else," Djokovic said.

Djokovic will play against Dino Prižmić tomorrow (9), in the first round of the Australian Open.
