Novak Djokovic’s status for the ATP Finals in Turin has been revealed.
The 38-year-old Serbian tennis legend will play in the event Nov. 9-16, according to the head of Italy’s tennis federation Angelo Binaghi.
“We have confirmation that Djokovic will be in Turin,” Binaghi told Italian radio channel Rai Gr Parlamento on Monday, via The Independent.
There had been some speculation that the 24-time Grand Slam champion might skip the event and focus on the Australian Open in January.
“This is an absolute coup for the Year-End Championships and for the ATP Tour overall,” ESPN analyst Patrick McEnroe said via text.
“This also makes it very clear about Djokovic’s commitment to 2026, especially the Australian Open in January.”
Djokovic withdrew from the Paris Masters after retiring from his match against Taylor Fritz at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. The Serb appeared to struggle with a leg injury and shook hands with Fritz after losing the first-set tiebreak.
Djokovic has won the ATP Finals a record seven times (2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2022 and 2023).
The eight players in Turin will be divided into two groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the semifinals. Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Fritz, Ben Shelton and Alex de Minaur will compete, with the final spot to be determined in the coming days.
