Millman: "I wouldn't have been surprised if the Rod Laver Arena had been renamed the Novak Djokovic Arena".

John Millman, who retired last season, now works for television as a consultant.

He has set his sights on Novak Djokovic to win this year's Australian Open, which would be his 11th title in Melbourne.

A number that would make him even more of a tournament legend, especially as it could also be his 100th career title - quite a symbol.

Millman said the Serb deserves to have Melbourne's centre court named after him: "You kind of feel the stars are aligning for Novak. He's also looking for his 100th ATP title.

We thought he was going to get it in Brisbane, but he was eliminated.

But how nice it would be for Novak to win his 100th Australian Open title on a court he knows so well.

The Rod Laver Arena is aptly named, but I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been renamed the Novak Djokovic Arena, such is his dominance on this court."
