Novak Djokovic will prepare for the Australian Open by featuring at the Adelaide International. The ATP 250 event will take place between 12 and 17 January.

The Australian Open main draw will start on Sunday, January 18 in Melbourne. Djokovic will be competing in Adelaide for the third time, having previously tasted glory in 2007 and 2023.

The Serbian will hope to warm up for the season's first grand slam with another trophy, having now won 101 ATP-level titles across his glittering career.

Other big names set to compete in Adelaide include Jack Draper, Tommy Paul, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Joao Fonseca.

This season's Australian Open women's singles champion, Madison Keys, triumphed in Adelaide before her success at Melbourne Park.

Djokovic, who pulled out of the ATP Finals in November, has won the Australian Open 10 times, and is still hunting a record-setting 25th grand slam title.
