Novak Djokovic’s Coach Believes Organizing Australian Open 2021 Will be ‘Very Strenuous’

After a successful 2020 tennis season, Novak Djokovic and his team will now be aiming for the Australian Open 2021. Djokovic ended the year as the World No.1 and will like to resume from where he left in Melbourne. In a recent interview, his coach Marian Vajda spoke about the difficulties for the Australian Open management in hosting the Slam under these difficult conditions.

“It will be very strenuous from an organizational point of view. We will see when the Australian Open starts and whether the preparatory tournaments, which are still on the schedule, take place,” told the hopeful coach in the interview.

The coach certainly emphasized that the organizers would have to work day in and out to make the Grand Slam a huge success. He even asserted that they would have to ensure preparatory tournaments before the Slam as well.

Australian Open has always been Djokovic’s den. He has already won 8 titles there which is almost half of his total number of Grand Slams. The Serbian will be looking forward to extend his lead under coach Vajda.

“Would be great if there was a bubble at the Australian Open”- Coach of Novak Djokovic

The 55-year-old coach also highlighted his desire of having a bubble at the Australian Open 2021. He believed that it would be much safer, especially for foreign players.

“It would be great if there was a bubble at the Australian Open as in New York and Paris. And everything would take place right on the campus in Melbourne,” added the cheerful coach.

It appeared that Vajda was trying to emphasize that the players must not have to travel much. One could infer that he wanted the players to stay in hotels near the court in order to avoid any kind of risk.

The management is definitely trying their level best to organize the tournament successfully. Fans are really excited about the Slam especially after hearing that both Roger Federer and Serena Williams will be playing there.
