TIL Desk Sports/ Former world number one and Serbian tennis maestro Novak Djokovic is bursting with joy after making a resounding return to the tennis court, following the longest injury lay-off of his career.
Having remained sidelined for almost six months with an elbow injury, the 30-year-old made a successful comeback by thrashing world number five Dominic Thiem 6-1, 6-4 in the exhibition event at the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne today.
Djokovic looked in good form and full of optimism as he played the first competitive match since his withdrawal from the Wimbledon quarterfinal against Tomas Berdych due to injury.
Following the match, Djokovic said that he is quite satisfied with his comeback, especially his serve, which had been most affected by the elbow injury. “It was a fantastic test for me to see where I am, to see what we have done as a team and whether it works on the court and it works pretty well.
Especially the serve – that was the biggest question mark because of the elbow, that shot in my game was compromised,” the Guardian quoted Djokovic, as saying.
