Novak Djokovic vs. Dino Prižmić: Australian Open first-round match preview

With a record 10 Australian Open titles under his name, the Serbian tennis player has carved out an unrivaled legacy for himself in Melbourne. This season, Djokovic will be returning to Australian soil as the number-one seed after experiencing a lackluster campaign at the United Cup. The 24-time singles Grand Slam champion was recently stunned by Alex de Minaur, 6-4, 6-4, at the international hard court tennis event.

Dino Prižmić, on the other hand, will be making his Grand Slam main-draw debut after some brilliant performances in the qualifier rounds. The Croatian tennis player, who is just 18, brushed aside the likes of Aziz Dougaz, Duje Ajduković, and Mariano Navone to secure a spot in the main draw of the Australian Open.
