Novak Djokovic released a statement confirming his withdrawal from the 2024 Paris Masters a few days ago but a well-known tennis insider has revealed that the Serb may also pull out of the ATP Finals in case he qualifies.<\/p>\n

Guido Monaco, a Eurosport journalist, expressed the\u00a0“general feeling”<\/em>\u00a0around Djokovic’s ATP Finals participation during his appearance on the most recent episode of\u00a0TennisMania<\/em>. Monaco stated that it would make sense for the Serb to not go to Turin.<\/p>\n

“The general feeling is that Djokovic will not participate, even though skipping the Finals is unusual. Many would do whatever it takes to qualify. For him, it makes sense not to go,” Monaco said (translated from Italian).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

“From a sponsorship perspective, I am puzzled; it’s a showcase, and many bonuses are tied to participation. As of today, we would be surprised to see him in Turin. Without him, even Musetti has a mathematical chance of qualifying for the Finals,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notably, Djokovic’s success at the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals is a testament to his ability to deliver even at the end of long seasons. He is a record title holder (7) at the finals Masters 1000 of the year and also the record winner (7) of the year-end championships.<\/p>\n

However, following his participation in the Six Kings Slam exhibition event, where he faced Rafael Nadal for the\u00a0final time<\/a>\u00a0in his career, the Serb\u00a0announced his withdrawal<\/a>\u00a0from the 2024 Paris Masters.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately I won’t be playing @rolexparismasters this year. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see me play there,” Djokovic wrote on his Instagram.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Torino is not my goal at all” – ATP Finals not on Novak Djokovic’s priority list<\/h2>\n

Novak Djokovic informed reporters of his future plans during his Davis Cup participation in September. The 37-year-old explained that playing in the ATP Finals was not his goal anymore.<\/p>\n

“Torino is not my goal at all, to be honest, I am not chasing ATP Finals, I am not chasing the rankings etc,” he said. “As far as I am concerned, I am done with those tournaments for my career. Whether I will play other tournaments this year or in the future, I can’t say right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Djokovic further asserted that his main priority is to represent his country and play at Grand Slams. As for the ATP Finals qualification, the 24-time Grand Slam winner occupies the sixth spot in the Race to Turin.<\/p>\n

The Serbian is followed by\u00a0Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and\u00a0Alex de Minaur\u00a0in a close battle for the final two qualification spots. Fans will surely be disappointed to his absence from the prestigious tournament.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
