LETS DO IT
100
Djokovic arrives in Qatar with the dream of winning his 100th professional title. He is 5 behind Federer and 11 behind Connors.
Since his right hand operation in March 2022, the Italian has lost his luster on the circuit. Unfortunately, the level we saw in that Wimbledon final has not been noticed again. Berrettini is trying to come back little by little, but his physical condition is very poor.
Novak Djokovic participated in 51 consecutive Grand Slams before missing the 2017 US Open due to a right elbow injury suffered at Wimbledon. He had surgery on his elbow after the 2018 Australian Open.

We agreed that he was going to take some time to think, talk to his family and see if he decides to continue working. I expressed my desire to continue working with him, so I'm very happy that he has accepted. It is indefinite as to how long we will work together, but we agreed most likely in the United States and some clay court tournaments. After that we will see how it goes” explained the Serb.
