Novak Djokovic "immense favourite" according to Justine Henin

Former number one Justine Henin believes Djokovic to be immense favourite at Australian Open if healthy.

Djokovic suffered an injury prior to the Australian Open, and while it was not considered significant, it might still affect him during play. It's simple for Henin: if he's healthy and ready to play, he's the favourite and it's not that close.

Novak Djokovic is hungry! He is, in my opinion, just as in many other Grand Slams, the overwhelming favourite. In recent years, we have seen that the hunger he has rarely any players have ever had. But this time there is a desire to take revenge because I think that the last 18 months have been very rough on him for different reasons.

Henin on Djokovic's hunger

Henin was impressed by Djokovic at the Adelaide International event. He looked really good and she pointed that out calling his preparation perfect.

In 2023, he is in perfect physical shape, and he arrives with the desire to prove things. So yes, he is the big favourite. A lot of things can happen, but clearly, in my opinion, it will be Djokovic versus the others. Djokovic will be the immense favourite.
