Don't worry about big names

According to Eurosport, Becker said of the game between the Serbs and the Germans: “It's great. If Novak has a good day in Melbourne, you can't beat him. Jan-Lennard is an uncomfortable opponent who is not afraid of big names.

He will certainly not kneel in awe, but will consistently try to play his game. This game will be difficult for both players. Struff is ranked number 39 in the world, making him one of the best-placed unsettled players in the men's draw. "

Djokovic , who has triumphed seven times in Melbourne, will do everything possible to clear the eighth title! The Serb definitely has more pressure in this clash. The German will try to get his best tennis and certainly won't come to the court to lose!
