Novak Djokovic, the reigning champion at the Rolex Paris Masters, has reportedly decided not to defend his title this year, putting his participation in the ATP Finals in Turin in doubt. Despite playing in Riyadh last weekend at the Six Kings Slam, where he faced Rafael Nadal in the final, Djokovic has withdrawn from the final Masters 1000 event of the season, which starts next Monday.
Last year, Djokovic secured his record seventh Paris Masters title by defeating Grigor Dimitrov in the final. While no specific reason has been given for his withdrawal, Serbian media suggests the 24-time Grand Slam champion may also skip the ATP Finals and possibly the ATP 250 event in Belgrade, despite his strong position to qualify for both tournaments. This uncertainty raises questions about Djokovic’s schedule as the season nears its conclusion.
