Novak Djokovic returns to the scene of his greatest triumphs this week at the Australian Open, adamant he is ready and able to see off the challenge from Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in his pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam crown.

Novak Djokovic has revealed the "trauma" he experiences whenever he visits Melbourne, three years after he was deported for a breach of Australia's COVID-19 rules.
