Melbourne: Novak Djokovic has dominated the blue courts of Melbourne Park for a decade, but the defending champ still fears over-confidence could prove his undoing here.

Set to bid for a record seventh title and a second hat-trick of trophies after his 2011-13 run, the Serb has often seemed invincible in Australia, but feels otherwise. "I never had an invincibility. Nobody is invincible. I never thought of myself as a superior player, but knowing how it feels on court, if you get overconfident, that's why I don't want to get into that state of mind. ," he said at Melbourne Park on Saturday.

"I want to be in a position where I'm even to other players, though I'm defending champion," added the World No.
