Novak Djokovic will gear up for a return to the ATP Tour at the Paris Masters 2024, which will run from October 28 to November 3. He’s the defending champion at the venue and is gunning to capture his record-extending eighth title. He defeated Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets in last year’s final.

Djokovic’s last trip to the city of Paris was quite memorable, as he captured the elusive gold medal at the Olympics a few months ago. It was the only missing piece of achievement in his otherwise stellar resume, which is now complete. He captured the top honors there at the expense of Carlos Alcaraz, who had to settle for the silver medal.

The Serb couldn’t bask in the glory of his triumph at the Olympics for too long. He was knocked out by Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the US Open. However, he bounced back in his trademark style and reached the final of his very next tournament, the Shanghai Masters. He came up short against World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the summit clash.

Djokovic then headed to Riyadh for the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition event. He went down to Sinner once again but managed to beat his rival Rafael Nadal in the third-place playoff match. As for the Spaniard, he is set to hang up his racquet for good at next month’s Davis Cup Finals in his home country, having announced his retirement a couple of weeks ago.

The 24-time Major champion will now turn his attention to the Paris Masters, the season’s final Masters tournament. He is the most successful player in the history of the tournament, though he won’t become complacent due to that. A good run in the French capital is the need of the hour for him, as it could secure his spot in the ATP Finals.

Novak Djokovic’s chances of making the cut for this year’s ATP Finals looked to be in jeopardy after his early exit from the US Open. However, his runner-up finish at the Shanghai Masters put him back in contention for a berth. He is currently sixth in the Race to Turin with 3,910 points. A trip to the championship round in Paris should be enough for him to qualify.

The Serb is the defending champion at the ATP Finals and claimed his record-breaking seventh title at the tournament last year. He surpassed Roger Federer’s record of six trophies with his triumph last year and also bettered his own record as the oldest player to win the tournament.

Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Alexander Zverev are the only three players to have officially qualified for this year’s ATP Finals. Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz are ahead of the Serb and are in a good position to qualify as well. Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev will look to fend off a bunch of challengers and secure their spots in the elite eight as well.
