For the first time since 2001, the ATP Finals will be held without any member of the 'Big Three'—Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Novak Djokovic—due to their respective retirements and withdrawals. Federer has been retired since 2022, Nadal is set to retire after the Davis Cup, while Djokovic announced his withdrawal due to an unspecified injury. Djokovic, a seven-time champion at the event, expressed his disappointment on social media, wishing the remaining players well for the tournament. This absence marks a significant shift in men's tennis, as the Big Three have dominated the sport for over two decades. Djokovic's withdrawal will also impact his ATP ranking, as he will lose 1300 points and potentially drop to sixth place. The scene is set for a new era in tennis, with the ATP Finals starting without the legendary trio who have defined a generation.
