Overview
- Djokovic defeated Alejandro Tabilo 7-6 (3), 6-1 at the Hellenic Championship to reach the quarterfinals, his first win over the Chilean after two prior losses on clay.
- The confirmation came from Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis Federation, who said Djokovic will compete in Turin next week.
- The Athens ATP 250 marks the return of top-tier men’s tennis to Greece for the first time in more than 30 years and is the relocated, family-run event directed by Djordje Djokovic.
- Djokovic has been living in Athens since September and is using the home tournament as a tune-up following a leg issue at the Six Kings Slam and a withdrawal from the Paris Masters.
- With Djokovic committed to Turin, the final ATP Finals berth remains open only if Lorenzo Musetti wins the Athens title to overtake Felix Auger-Aliassime.
