Novak Djokovic expected to miss ATP Finals; will only prioritize Grand Slams and representing his country
Novak Djokovic stands 2075 points behind the qualification mark for the ATP Finals. He is one place behind Alex De Minaur who currently holds the last spot in the race to Turin.
The former World No. 1 has had an ordinary season this year by his high standards. Apart from a gold medal in the Summer Olympics, he failed to make an impact in any of the Majors and hasn’t captured any trophy this year.The Serb said he was looking to prepare himself for the Majors rather than all the events on the Tour calendar. He added he was looking forward to representing his country at the Davis Cup.
Speaking during the recently held Davis Cup Finals, he said,
“I am not chasing a place on the ATP list, nor the Final Masters. Those are not my goals, honestly. As for me, I finished my career in other tournaments. I don’t know if I will play them in the future or this year
“My priorities are playing for the national team and grand slams, everything else is less important. Now I need a physical, mental, and emotional rest in order to decide what and how to proceed, how much and where.”
