Novak Djokovic is likely to face hostility both on and off court if he is allowed to play at the Australian Open but a former member of the Serbian’s team thinks the world No 1 is well-equipped to deal with it.

Djokovic’s announcement last week that he had a medical exemption to play despite being unvaccinated was met with uproar in Australia.
