Djokovic Sets Athens Comeback as Fitness Test for Turin Decision

His plan for the ATP Finals hinges on how his body responds in Greece.

Overview

The 38-year-old has confirmed he will play next week’s ATP 250 in Athens, opening against the winner of Alejandro Tabilo vs Adam Walton on Tuesday, November 4.
He targets a 101st tour title and a second ATP 250 trophy of the season at the newly relocated event run by his family.
His status for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin remains undecided and will be determined after assessing his condition during the Athens campaign.
Recent setbacks include a Shanghai semifinal loss to Valentin Vacherot, a retirement against Taylor Fritz at the Six Kings Slam, and a withdrawal from the Paris Masters.
John Isner publicly predicted Djokovic will skip Turin, stressing this is his view despite Djokovic having qualified for the season-ending event.
