NOVAK DJOKOVIC has revealed he still feels "trauma" and fears he will be detained when he returns to Australia following his 2022 deportation.
The Olympic champion, who will be coached by Andy Murray at the Australian Open, admitted his last career goal is to win a record 25th Grand Slam singles title.
And the Serbian superstar has his best chance Down Under where he has won the title a record 10 times.
But Djokovic was sensationally stopped on arriving at Melbourne Airport three years ago without a Covid vaccine and deported after five nights in a detention centre.
The Australian government claimed he risked stoking "anti-vax sentiment" amid a worldwide furore.
Djokovic returned to win the Australian Open title in 2023 and now insists he holds no "grudge" or resentment".
