Djokovic's forthright statement demonstrates his high standards and drive to improve his game as he continues through the Australian Open tournament.  Speaking after the 2nd Round, Djokovic said:} 

_{“I sincerely hope so [that I get better on the court], that's what it’s going to take for me to go deep in the tournament. I haven't been playing my best, I've been still trying to find a form,”}

_{Dino Prizmic and Alexei Popyrin presented Novak Djokovic with difficult obstacles at the 2024 Australian Open, which did not make his path more straightforward.

_{"Particularly in the early rounds, you play players that have nothing to lose really. They come out on the center court trying to play their best, best match, best tennis. And both my first and second round opponents were really really great quality tennis players and I managed to find a way to win. Hopefully, I'll be able to build this as tournament progresses,"}
