    Tennis legend Novak Djokovic expects Rafa Nadal to be at his competitive best at next month's Australian Open despite a hip injury that wiped out the veteran Spaniard's 2023 season

    Tennis legend Novak Djokovic expects Rafa Nadal to be at his competitive best at next month's Australian Open despite a hip injury that wiped out the veteran Spaniard's 2023 season


    Nadal returns at Brisbane this weekend, before playing at the Grand Slam venue where he's won two of his 22 grand slam titles.

    Djokovic reckons his great rival shouldn't be written off just yet...saying the 37-year-old Nadal's not the kind of a player who will come back to the tour just to make up the numbers.
