"I love Australia – I don’t hold grudges": Djokovic all set for Australian Open title tilt after Adelaide win
ATP
Many wondered whether Djokovic is feeling some type of way about being back in Australia but Djokovic is openly saying that he holds no grudges.
While Djokovic might be saying the right thing a lot of tennis analysts believe that there are certainly some lingering emotions for Djokovic about being back down under. If not now it will certainly be the case when he makes his way to Melbourne where all of the things happened last year. After his win in Adelaide, he once again said that he has no negative feelings:
“I don’t hold any grudges. I told you I had far many more positive experiences in Australia to throw that away just because of what happened last year.
He added:

“I feel very comfortable with people, normal people, that follow
sport, that I encounter on an everyday basis. I haven’t had any negative
experience so far. So every person that I met, whether it’s in the city
or in the woods, I actually met a few kangaroos, as well, had a chat
with them, everyone was very kind, very supportive. So there is no reason for me to feel differently than what I’m receiving from them.”
He also touched upon returning to Melbourne:
“I love playing in Australia. I mean, my results are a testament to
that. I wouldn’t be able to play so well in a place where I don’t feel
well. I look forward to Melbourne. Rod Laver is probably my most — not
probably, it certainly is my most successful court in my career. I love
playing there. I look forward to it."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
