2025 PARIS MASTERS WITHOUT NOVAK DJOKOVIC AFTER SUDDEN WITHDRAWAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the 2025 Paris Masters, forgoing a chance at a record 8th title. The 24-time Grand Slam champ, who also missed last year's event, is managing his schedule after a recent retirement in Riyadh.
Novak Djokovic withdrew from the ATP Masters 1000 event one week before the 2025 Paris Masters, meaning he will not be competing.
At the Paris Masters, Djokovic will not contend for a record-tying eighth championship. In the event's history, no one has been more successful than the renowned Serbian, but the 38-year-old will not add his 18th appearance.
In his last five visits, the 24-time Grand Slam champion made it to the final three times and took home the trophy. But Djokovic missed the ceremony last year and will not be attending this year either.
After losing to Jannik Sinner in the semi-final of the Six Kings Slam, Djokovic retired following the opening set of his match against Taylor Fritz in the third round. Given his recent physical issues, it did not seem reasonable to expect Djokovic to compete in ATP events after he retired, even during an exhibition.
Sadly, those worries came true for the former world number one player's admirers. Djokovic will not participate in the first Paris Masters, which will take place in the La Défense Arena, the event's new location.
Although Novak Djokovic qualified for the ATP Finals, it is unlikely that he will play.
Djokovic qualified for his 18th ATP Finals just a few days earlier. The Serbian player qualified for the tournament last year but did not compete, so if he decides to go, it will be "just" his 17th time.
Djokovic will have to make a new decision this year about his participation in Turin. The Serbian star can contend for his seventh title in the year-end championships if he makes it to the ATP Finals.
After withdrawing from the Paris Masters, what will happen to Novak Djokovic next?
In a brief statement, Djokovic discussed his intentions for the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At the moment, it was unclear which tournaments he was referring to when he said he would try his hardest to get ready for the final two events of the season.
It now appears quite likely that Djokovic will participate in the Athens Open, an ATP 250 competition in his new home and an event hosted by his brother Djordje, following his withdrawal from the Paris Masters.
The ATP Finals would be the only other competition that Djokovic could have alluded to. Fans of the Serbian can anticipate an exciting final few weeks if all goes according to plan.
Djokovic may not feel completely prepared to compete, though, as was the case in Riyadh or with his participation in the Paris Masters. The 24-time major winner's season would therefore be done, and the Australian Open would probably be his next event.
THE EIGHT-YEAR GAP: SVITOLINA REACHES FIRST WTA 1000 FINAL SINCE 2018 IN DUBAI
Svitolina stuns Gauff! Discover how she reached the Dubai final to face Pegula, plus Alcaraz's 11-0 streak and Venus' return.
Elina Svitolina stunned world number four Coco Gauff to earn a spot in the Dubai Tennis Championships final, where she’ll face Jessica Pegula.
Pegula got there first, clawing her way back after a rough start against Amanda Anisimova. She dropped the first set badly and even lost her serve early in the second, but still pulled off a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.
Gauff, just 21, almost set up an all-American final, but Svitolina refused to fold. The match? Epic. Svitolina took it 6-4, 6-7 (13-15), 6-4 after more than three hours on court. She let four match points slip in a wild second-set tiebreak, but didn’t let that break her. She powered through the decider, and now she’s back in the Dubai final for the first time since she won the title back-to-back in 2017 and 2018.
“I was playing like there’s no tomorrow, just giving it everything,” Svitolina said afterwards.
Over in the men’s Qatar Open, world number one Carlos Alcaraz kept his perfect 2026 record alive. He beat Andrey Rublev 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 to reach the final. Alcaraz, just 22, already grabbed the Australian Open this season and became the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. He’s won all 11 matches he’s played this year.
“I know what I can do every time I step on the court,” Alcaraz said.
He’ll face Arthur Fils from France in the final. Fils beat Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic, who’d knocked out world number two Jannik Sinner earlier in the week, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
And in some more big news, Venus Williams is heading back to Indian Wells. The seven-time Grand Slam champ, now 45, got a wildcard for both singles and doubles.
“It’s great to be heading back to Indian Wells and returning home to California,” Williams said in a statement.
9-0 STREAK: ANALYZING CARLOS ALCARAZ’S PERFECT START TO THE 2026 TENNIS SEASON
Alcaraz hits 9-0: Discover why Valentin Royer warned Alcaraz and Sinner after their 2026 clash and the latest ATP rankings.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner just got a playful warning from their ATP rival, Valentin Royer.
Alcaraz, with seven Grand Slam titles, and Sinner, who has four, have completely owned men’s tennis for the last couple of years. They’ve split the last nine majors; each grabbed four ATP Masters 1000 trophies; and keep swapping the No. 1 spot in the ATP Rankings.
No one else has really kept up. Novak Djokovic is still hanging around, but the rest of the guys, like Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Ben Shelton, are all chasing from behind.
Alcaraz is rolling right now. He’s unbeaten in 2026 so far, standing at 9-0. After winning his first Australian Open title, he followed up with wins over Arthur Rinderknech and Royer.
After Alcaraz beat Royer 6-2, 7-5, the two shared a light moment at the net. Royer, currently world No. 60, told Alcaraz, “I’ll come for you and Jannik, don’t worry. Some day.” Alcaraz laughed and said, “I will wait for you, man.”
Royer actually had a shot in the second set. He broke Alcaraz’s serve early and was up 5-3, serving for the set, but Alcaraz broke back, held serve, and broke again to close out the match.
Asked if he was nervous, Alcaraz admitted, “Honestly, I had to be ready for anything. There were moments when I thought about a third set; I’m not going to lie. But that was just a small part of my mind. Mostly, I was focused on finding solutions, figuring out how to get back on track.
“I’m really happy I found my rhythm again and played good tennis. Sometimes it just comes down to one point. Closing out a set or a match isn’t always easy. I just had to stay in it, and I’m glad I turned it around and got the win in straight sets.”
Next, he faces seventh seed Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinals. If he gets through, he’ll meet either Andrey Rublev or Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semis. Sinner is the likely opponent waiting in the final.
“Everybody expects us to play every final, every tournament, but that’s not easy. There are a lot of players out here who want to beat us,” Alcaraz said about a possible final against Sinner.
