Evans in awe of Djokovic's fitness, believes he is clear favourite for Australian Open: "It's like watching a 14 year old"

Dan Evans spent some time in the gym with Novak Djokovic and he was simply in awe of his fitness comparing it to watching a 14-year old.

Both Evans and Djokovic are in their thirties and Evans was simply stunned by Djokovic when observing him in the gym. The British player talked about it in a recent interview with the Daily Mail where he said:

"Novak was around and I saw him in the gym a bit and had a couple of chats with him. When you look at him in the gym, he looks like a gymnast - the way he stretches it's like watching a 14-year-old. So if his body doesn't break down he has to be in a great position."

Evans also noted that the Serbian is the biggest favourite for the Australian Open, especially after last year. He thinks Nadal is the second favourite:

"He had just got confirmation that he can go to Australia and he is pretty pumped about it. When you look at how he finished the year, and his ranking with how little he played compared to others, he is definitely the favourite for Australia and Nadal is probably second favourite."
