Djokovic Confirmed for ATP Finals After Athens Return, Dismisses Retirement Talk

His participation leaves a single year-end berth still open for either Felix Auger‑Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti.

Overview

  • Italian federation president Angelo Binaghi said Djokovic is set to compete at the ATP Finals in Turin from November 9–16.
  • Djokovic resumed match play in Athens, beating Alejandro Tabilo 7-6 (3), 6-1 to reach the quarterfinals and earn his first win over the Chilean.
  • The 38-year-old said he does not plan to retire soon, citing his enjoyment of competition and a desire to contribute to the sport.
  • A Turin appearance would give Djokovic 17 ATP Finals entries, tying Roger Federer, and he already holds a record seven titles with a 50–18 match record at the event.
  • After skipping Paris following his Shanghai semifinal loss, Djokovic is using the family-run Athens ATP 250 in his new home city to regain rhythm; reports note Auger‑Aliassime withdrew from Metz, keeping Musetti’s path alive if he wins Athens.
