Djokovic in Brisbane: "I hope to play more than one match".

Freshly arrived in Brisbane, Novak Djokovic spoke about his start to the season, which he will kick off by playing the ATP 250 in Brisbane, which is unusual for him.

He declares: "I haven't played for two months. I finished my season quite early. I took some time to get back into shape physically.

I'm looking forward to starting a new season with a tournament before the Australian Open.

Brisbane is a great tournament. Historically, it has always attracted the best players. I hope to play more than one match. I've been working hard for a month.

My doubles partnership with Nick Kyrgios is going to be fun. We've never played together before, so we'll see.

We already talked at Wimbledon about teaming up. We've got that chance in the first week of the season."
