Djokovic training on hard courts to prepare for Indian Wells and Miami with hope of exemption

Novak Djokovic seems to be preparing for the Dubai tennis event coming up later this month as his athletic trainer revealed he's going to Belgrade.

According to reports from Serbia, Djokovic is slowly starting to prepare for the hard courts as he is set to meet up with his team in Belgrade. The plan is to start practicing on hard courts to prepare for the Dubai event which will take place in the final week of February. The Serbian also hopes to play in Indian Wells and Miami despite still not being to enter the country legally.

Djokovic actually request a special exemption for himself to enter the country in order to play the events so there is hope that that might be approved. The only issue is that he would need exceptions for his whole family as they would be coming with him. That makes it less likely but fans are still hopeful about seeing Djokovic at the Sunshine double this year.
