Djokovic Confirms ATP Finals Participation in Turin

Italian Tennis Federation president Angelo Binaghi confirmed Novak Djokovic will play the ATP Finals in Turin next week, ending speculation he might withdraw. The 38-year-old, a seven-time ATP Finals champion, has been out roughly three weeks after losing in the Shanghai Masters semifinals on Oct. 11 and skipped the Paris Masters. He is set to make his competitive comeback this week at the Athens ATP event, where he is scheduled to face Alejandro Tabilo. Djokovic reached the semifinals of all four majors this season and won his 100th ATP title in Geneva in May. With Djokovic confirmed, only one spot remains in the year-end eight-man field, contested between Felix Auger‑Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti, who can overtake Auger‑Aliassime by winning in Athens.
