DUBAI — Novak Djokovic has vowed not to become over-confident as he seeks to extend a 15-match winning streak when he returns to action in Dubai, his first tournament since winning a sixth Australian Open title last month.
The Melbourne Park victory earned the Serb an 11th grand slam trophy, bringing him level with Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver, and the 28-year-old admitted such milestones are important to him after winning four of the past five majors.
“People start talking about the all-time greats and me coming closer to them, but I still would like to follow the same approach and philosophy of focusing only on the next tournament,” Djokovic told reporters in Dubai.
