No matter how unlikely it may be Novak Djokovic’s stage as a star in the world of sports has a chance to complete. At 37, he is often called the greatest player who ever existed in men’s tennis history, singles only, with all his record 24 Gran Slam trophies.
As the latest news, Novak Djokovic has received a great advantage in his attempts to make a marvellous finish in the men’s tennis calendar this season. Presently, the seven-time ATP Finals winner is in 9th position in the rankings of confirmation of participation in the tournament, which will take place in November, implying that he has some control over how things will turn out. However, a draw at the Japan Open managed to save him for a bit.
American tennis player Taylor Fritz who is currently competing in Tokyo, gave a good account of himself at the recently concluded US Open where he was the runners-up to Italy’s Jannik Sinner, the men’s world number one, in the finals where he lost in straight sets 3-6, 4-6, 5-7, suffered a first-round defeat on Thursday against Arthur Fils of France 4-6, 6-3, 3-6.
As a result, Djokovic has an opportunity to catch up with the 26-year-old who occupies the fifth position in the finals qualifications. About Djokovic, he is about to participate in Shanghai Masters followed by Paris Masters, and he cannot afford underwhelming performances hoping to make it to the championship in Turin. Earlier this year, the past world number 1 revealed that his priority is now playing the Grand Slams and the Davis Cup.
“I believe I’ve finished with such competitions within my professional lifetime,” he said back then. “As for whether I will take part in other competitions this year or in other years, it’s too early to say. Playing for the national team and Grand Slam tournaments will always come first irrespective of the other competitions.”
