The 2009 Novak Djokovic tennis season officially commenced on January 5 with the start of the 2009 ATP World Tour.
Djokovic was a victim of the Melbourne heat as his title defence came to an end at the hands of Roddick. As the city enters a heatwave the No3 seed retired when trailing 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, 2-1. [1]
This table chronicles all the matches of Djokovic in 2009, including walkovers (W/O) which the ATP does not count as wins. They are marked ND for non-decision or no decision.
