I am not chasing ATP Finals, I am not chasing the rankings” – Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic has endured a subpar year so far, with his only significant success coming at the Paris Olympics, where he won the gold medal. Other than that, the Serb’s fortunes this season have been mixed, even though he did reach the Australian Open semifinals and the Wimbledon final.

After ensuring Serbia’s spot in the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers, the former World No. 1 was asked about his thoughts on potentially playing at the year-end Nitto ATP Finals. In his response, the 24-time Major winner suggested that he doesn’t consider the prestigious year-end event important anymore and that he would rather focus on playing for Serbia and at Majors going forward.

Djokovic’s Focus Shifts to National Team and Slams

“Torino is not my goal at all, to be honest. I am not chasing ATP Finals, I am not chasing the rankings, etc. As far as I am concerned, I am done with those tournaments for my career. Whether I will play other tournaments this year or in the future, I can’t say right now. My main priorities are playing for the national team and slams, everything else is less important,” Djokovic said.

There are a couple of exhibition tournaments lined up for the Serb. The first is the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia in October. He has also agreed to play an exhibition match against former rival Juan Martin del Potro in Argentina in December.
