Father of Novak Djokovic, Srdjan Djokovic on potential for help in Australian Open cause: "Of course they will not lobby because he is the best tennis player in the world"

It's still unclear whether Novak Djokovic will play at 2023 Australian Open despite reports from Australia suggesting he will.

His father Srdjan Djokovic recently talked about his future during an appereance on the K1 television explaining that he doesn't see anybody help Djokovic get back to the Australian Open. He said that whatever happens he will go down as the greatest athlete of all time:

"Of course they will not lobby because he is the best tennis player in the world. Let them do what they think they need to do, he will definitely be the best athlete of all time."

He added:

"Novak plans to play for two more years. The way Federer has played in recent years, because of some other things that don't have a connection with sports, my son can play as much as he wants. But he won't do it because he's a Serb, because he's a Djokovic.

Srdjan Djokovic has made some interesting remarks in the past and he finished off with:

"I want to say that Novak is not only the best tennis player, but also a man. It's a stunning enigma to me how they didn't let him play in Melbourne and New York, but they let him play in London. Here, I don't know. He probably showed them that he is the best there, so they stopped him from going to New York. And those points from London were not accepted."
