"John Newcombe" Former Australian No.1, John Newcombe doubts Novak Djokovic amazing in the run in new season stating that, it would be very tough to repeat the amazing run, which he had this season by winning 3-grand slam titles.

Newcombe has said that, it will be difficult task for the Serbian No.1, Djokovic to continue the same form of winning ten titles in 2011; due to the fact that, he is struggling from injuries and fatigue fade from September onwards.

Seven times grand slam champion, Newcombe has said about Djokovic that, He’s just won so many matches, and it’s been pretty obvious, even at the US Open, he was struggling, the local icon told Australian media. “Since the US Open, there’s been injuries; a sore shoulder, a sore back.

When you watch him playing, he’s running on three cylinders. I’d say that his body has temporarily given in. It’s not a lot of time to suddenly suck it up and start the year again and defend everything that he won last year.

I think it will be a superhuman effort for him to repeat the six months that he had. It was an amazing run, and that is very hard to defend.

World No.1, Novak Djokovic will kick-start his new season this week against French world No.14, Gael Monfils on Thursday, December, 2011 in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.

Wait and see, what could be the Djokovic’s form in 2012.
