Novak Djokovic steps out in "24" shoes as he makes winning Australian Open startAs the defending champion overcame an early test on Rod Laver Arena, he had a reminder of his record-breaking victories on his heels.“I'm just hoping I can start the season in a way that I have been starting my seasons, most of my seasons, throughout my career: with a win here in Australia, in Melbourne. My favorite place, no doubt. The court where I've done great things and achieved my greatest Grand Slam results," Djokovic told press before the tournament began.“I hope that I'm going to be able to, if not play at the level that I did last year, then be very close to that—because that was one of the best tennis levels that I've ever played, here in Australia last year.”Djokovic passed an early test in his quest for a mind-boggling 25th Grand Slam title, after he was taken to four sets by Dino Prizmic on Sunday. He eventually prevailed 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4 after four hours and will face an Aussie next, either Alexei Popyrin or wildcard Marc Polmans in the second round.
