Novak Djokovic staying focused on himself as he bids for success in 2025

Novak Djokovic is focusing on himself as he bids to win again in 2025.

The Serbian tennis legend is competing at his first event of the year at the Brisbane International and is working on physical and mental improvements that will allow him to compete with young rivals Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic said: "[I’m] just focusing mostly on myself, really, how I can be better physically, game-wise, mentally, as well. And ready to compete, whatever it takes, however many hours it takes with the youngsters.

"And then, of course, you know, I think in the upcoming weeks, we will also, particularly the week before Australian Open, do a lot of video analysis of my main opponents, top guys, trying to understand how my game matches up against theirs and what I have done in the past well, what I can improve.

"So there is quite a bit of analytics in there, and I am that kind of person. I like to go into details."

Djokovic insists that he won't be changing his game dramatically as he seeks to bounce back from a disappointing 2024.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner said: "Well, I’m not looking to transform my game completely.

"I mean, I’m not going to be Giovanni [Mpetshi Perricard], serving two first serves and coming in to the net, but I definitely am looking to improve, even if it’s the slightest percentage. Every single shot that I have in my game, and maybe something that people don’t necessarily see, is this court positioning, the transition play, the tactics."
