Novak Djokovic will make his return to the sport at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship on Friday

Novak Djokovic is relishing his return to tennis after being out of the game for nearly six months.

The 12-time Grand Slam winner has not played since abandoning his Wimbledon quarter-final against Tomas Berdych in July.

Djokovic did not pick up a racket for almost four and a half months after having surgery on his right elbow.
