Practise with Djokovic at 2022 Australian Open highlight of my career, says James McCabe

In January 2022, when Novak Djokovic was embroiled in the deportation drama in Australia for being unvaccinated against Covid, it seemed like he had no friends. But he did make a few hearts feel full and one of those was young James McCabe’s. The 19-year-old Australian, who reached his first-ever ATP Challenger semifinal at the Bengaluru Open on Friday, practised twice with Djokovic – once immediately after the Serb was released from immigration detention and then before Djokovic was expelled. Someone asked, ‘Do you want to hit with Djokovic in 30 minutes at Rod Laver Arena.’ I was like ‘yeah!’. It has got to be the highlight of my career.” Like many Australians, McCabe’s is a multi-faceted personality.
