Novak Djokovic set to play ATP Finals in Turin next week, according to Italy’s tennis federation president Angelo Binaghi.
His confirmation ends days of speculation about whether the 24-time Grand Slam champion would appear at the season finale.
The event runs November 9-16 at the Inalpi Arena, with the world’s best eight players competing in round robin groups before the semifinals and final.
Djokovic skipped the Paris Masters and has not played since a Shanghai semifinal loss last month, which raised questions about his fitness and plans.
Confirmation from Italy’s federation settles that debate and sets up another high stakes week indoors, where he has historically excelled.
Turin gathers 2025’s top performers, including recent qualifiers such as Alexander Zverev, with one spot still in play heading into the final pre-finals events.
Expect a field featuring Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, among others, with the last berth contested between in-form contenders.
What to watch in Turin
- Djokovic’s first matches back: How quickly he settles on indoor hard courts after time off.
- Group dynamics: The round robin format rewards fast starts and punishes slow ones.
- The race for the final spot: Late results this week could finalise the lineup.
Turin is the ATP Tour’s year end showcase.
With Novak Djokovic set to play ATP Finals, the tournament adds proven star power and a compelling storyline: can he cap the season with another title in a format he knows well?
Djokovic is in for Turin next week, the dates are set, and the field is nearly complete.
All eyes now shift to the draw and his opening match to see how sharp he looks after a brief rest from the game.
