Novak Djokovic: Feel motivated to end year on a high

Novak Djokovic believes his prolonged, but self-inflicted absences in 2022 make him even more “super-pumped and motivated” to finish a year which started with the ignominy of deportation from Australia on a high.

Djokovic, 35, swept back-to-back titles when he comfortably defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4 in the Astana final on Sunday, a week after securing the Tel Aviv trophy. “I could not ask for a better restart of the season. I am super-pumped and motivated to end the season as well as I have done these past couple of weeks,” said the former world number one.
