Novak Djokovic made an impressive return to action in an exhibition clash with Dominic Thiem but admitted his elbow is still not 100 per cent. The former World No. 1 has not played a competitive match since retiring during Wimbledon last July. But, after beating Thiem 6-1, 6-4 at the Kooyong Classic, Djokovic declared himself happy. "I don't want to be overconfident. I'm very happy with the way it went today.
But I don't want to say it's 100 per cent, I'll say that when I feel that it is 100 per cent. I was waiting for this moment for six months to play a match. I got a great opponent ranked five in the world, it was a fantastic test to see where I am, to see what we have done as a team and whether it works on the court. "It worked pretty well, especially the serve, which was the biggest question mark because of the elbow, that shot in my game was compromised prior to July when I had to stop in Wimbledon."
