World number one and 24-time Grand Slam champion, Novak Djokovic, has landed in Western Australia, marking his first return to the state in a decade. The tennis icon arrived on Thursday evening and promptly embarked on a private trip to Rottnest Island on Friday morning, immersing himself in the local scenery.

The United Cup and Beyond Djokovic’s visit comes ahead of his participation in the mixed-teams United Cup, where he will represent Serbia alongside world No.119 Olga Danilovic. As the reigning champion of the Australian Open, Djokovic is keen to acclimate to the Australian heat before the first major tournament of the year. His current visit, he asserts, is not a farewell; the tennis star has expressed his desire to continue playing into his 40s, fostering hopes of future returns to Australia.
