Novak Djokovic warned on Wednesday he expects great rival Rafael Nadal is returning “to win a Grand Slam, not just to play” as the World No. 1 prepares to defend his Australian Open title next month. Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, makes his comeback after a near year-long injury absence at the Australian Open warm-up event in Brisbane starting Sunday. The 37-year-old Nadal has said that 2024 could be his final season without being able to “guarantee it 100 per cent.”
