Read our privacy policy Novak Djokovic has revealed the thigh injury which forced him out of the Australian Open has “almost 100 per cent repaired” and he plans to return in Doha next week. The Serbian’s bid for a record 25th grand slam title was prematurely halted in Melbourne last month when he had to retire after losing the first set of the semi-final to Alexander Zverev. But Djokovic, still one short of a 100th career ATP title, is on the entry list for next week’s Qatar Open and has been given the go-ahead to play by his medical team. “There is no more rupture in the muscle, the injury is almost 100 per cent repaired and I am ready to go to work for more victories,” the 37-year-old told Montenegrin newspaper Vijesti.
