Belgrade [Serbia], January 4 (ANI): World number one Novak Djokovic on Tuesday informed that he is heading Down Under with an "exemption permission" ahead of the Australian Open.
Djokovic said he spent fantastic quality time with his family and is now looking forward to the 2022 season.
"Happy New Year, everybody! Wishing you all health, love, and happiness in every present moment and may you feel love & respect towards all beings on this wonderful planet," Djokovic captioned the post on Instagram.
"I've spent fantastic quality time with my loved ones over the break and today I'm heading Down Under with an exemption permission. Let's go 2022," he added.
