I’m done with these tournaments! Djokovic won’t even be participating in the top ATP events
This season is very specific for him. Novak Djokovic has enjoyed only one triumph after some surprisingly poor performances. But it must be added that it came at the Olympics, which was a priority for him. The Serbian tennis player will continue this year’s strategy and further limit his presence on the ATP circuit.

- Djokovic has had a very specific season
- He compensated for his failures with an Olympic gold medal
- The Serb has decided to severely limit his involvement on the ATP circuit
This year he participated in exactly ten tennis events. And several of them ended much earlier than expected for Novak Djokovic.
Knocked out in the second match at the Masters in Indian Wells or in Rome filled the headlines of sports articles. The Serbian tennis player also surprised with his result at the US Open this year. Djokovic did not even advance to the eighth round in New York.
On the other hand, the thirty-seven-year-old tennis player prepared perfectly for the Olympic Games. Clearly, he is proving that his tennis qualities have not left him.
On the other hand, he definitely needs more time to rest. We can’t expect a whirlwind of success from him, nor can we expect him to travel from one tournament venue to another.
Djokovic has clear priorities
What he hinted at during the season he has now confirmed directly. The priorities for the Belgrade native remain grand slams and representing Serbia.
The tennis legend will significantly limit his participation in prestigious Masters tournaments. In fact, Djokovic started this practice earlier this year. Apart from the two mentioned, he has only played in Monte Carlo.
The final Masters Tournament in Turin will probably have to do without the legend of the white sport. “To be honest, Turin is not my goal at all,” Djokovic said .
“I’m done with these tournaments,” the Serb concluded on the issue of Masters tournaments. But he leaves room for surprises. He will decide on his calendar a little more spontaneously.
It’s certainly good that Djokovic is not parting with his career completely. The question is how far down the rankings he will fall. However, in any case, he will be the highlight of any event he appears at.
