Djokovic returned to the winner's circle last week after winning the Tel Aviv Open. The tournament marked his first appearance on tour since triumphing at Wimbledon in July. The Serb has had a turbulent season, missing out on playing at the Australian Open and the US Open due to his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19. His seventh title at the All England Club was also marred by the fact that the tournament had no ranking points this year due to its ban on Russian and Belarusian players. In an interview with Eurosport, Mischa Zverev stated that Novak Djokovic would likely play for another three or four years but raised doubts over his ability to regain the No. 1 ranking. The German also questioned whether Djokovic would be allowed to compete in the Australian Open next year. The way Novak looks, he can play another three or four years,” Zverev said. "Age is only a number if you do everything right on and off the court like Novak. But I don't know if he will be world No. 1 again. The big issue will be: Will he play the Australian Open?"

The former World No. 1 also thanked the crowd in Tel Aviv for being so "friendly" and "supportive" throughout the week.
