• Djokovic is committed to the inaugural Hellenic Championship ATP 250 in Athens from November 2–8 as he establishes a family base in the city, with local reports noting his children’s enrollment at a private school.
• He remains on the Shanghai Masters entry list, yet his absence from the event’s promotional poster has fueled reporting that a withdrawal is likely.
