Novak DjokovicNovak Djokovic has recently hinted at the possibility of ending his 2024 season early, which could mean skipping the prestigious ATP Finals. Djokovic, a six-time winner of the tournament, has faced injury issues throughout the year. Notably, he suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee during the French Open, and even though he pushed through fitness concerns to compete at the US Open, the physical toll seems to be catching up with him. He has also expressed a desire to spend more time with his family, suggesting that this balance between tennis and personal life could influence his decision to take a break from competition.
This would be a significant development, as Djokovic has been a dominant force at the ATP Finals, with victories in 2008, 2012-2015, 2022, and 2023. However, after clinching Olympic gold earlier this year, the Serbian star might be prioritizing rest and recovery over the grueling tennis schedule. His potential absence would undoubtedly shake up the tournament landscape.
