Novak Djokovic 'biggest storyline' at Australian Open according to Prakash Amritraj

Tennis Channel's Prakash Amritraj expressed that Novak Djokovic will be the biggest talking point at the 2023 Australian Open and it's rather obvious why.

Djokovic missed the event last year due to a logistical nightmare that ended with him being deported from the country. The event went ahead without him and ended with Nadal lifting the trophy, something many saw Djokovic doing. It altered tennis history forever and his return to the country and play at the event will be closely followed.

Amritraj looked at that and said:

"Look, there's going to be some serious contenders there. We're gonna see Carlos Alcaraz coming back healthy, youngest No. 1 ever we had on the tour and I know we will get to this, but I think our guy Nick Kyrgios has got a good shot to make something special happen Down Under. But look, the biggest story line has to be Novak, especially after the way he had to leave last year."

He continued:

"Those feelings are still inside him as he sort of came back. Novak loves a little chip on his shoulder and that will help bolster him. A lot of great athletes work this way. I cannot wait to see how hungry he comes out this year."
