>> ATP Acapulco: Number Six Favorite Step-by-Step Qualification – Full Quarter Draw

A few days ago, the Serbian posed with his great rival Rafael Nadal on a plane on his way to the United States.

Being present on one of the fields of the University of California, Los Angeles, Nole cheered on hundreds of students who wanted to see him practice.

Known as one of those who knows how to entertain the crowd, Joker invented a shot that won over the audience present at the training.

A big favorite on the American hard court, Djokovic will want to make a double in Indian Wells (March 6-17) and Miami (March 20-31) – The Sunshine Double.

The Serbian won his first Indian Wells title in 2008 after defeating Mardy Fish (6-2, 5-7, 6-3) in the final.

Four more Joker titles followed in the California desert: 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The ATP leader will return to Indian Wells after a five-year break (pandemic period + he did not receive an American visa because he was not vaccinated).
