Novak Djokovic To Skip ATP Finals, Look Ahead To 2025

Novak Djokovic will skip the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy and apparently look forward to 2025.

The eight-man field for the event running Nov. 10-17 was officially unveiled by the ATP and the 24-time Grand Slam champion is not part of it. Andrey Rublev, ranked No. 9 in the Race to Turin, made the field instead.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner leads a field that includes Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur and Rublev.

Djokovic, who failed to win a Grand Slam title in 2024 but did win that elusive gold medal at the Paris Olympics , has been pictured sunning himself on the beaches of the Maldives with his family and skipped last week's Paris Masters, won by Zverev.

"We've seen pictures on social media of him at the beach with his family in the Maldives, a long, long way from Italy," Jim Courier said Sunday on Tennis Channel. "So we'll see if he's going to lace them up. We don't know. We do know that whoever is No. 9 in the race is going to want him not to so they get into Torino as a player, not an alternate."

The winner of the ATP Final event will take home $4,881,100 if they go undefeated and $2,237,200 if they win but don't go unbeaten.

"Torino is not my goal at all, to be honest, I am not chasing ATP Finals, I am not chasing the rankings," said Djokovic after playing for Serbia in the Davis Cup in September.

"As far as I am concerned, I am done with those tournaments for my career. Whether I will play in other tournaments this year or in the future, I can't say right now.

"My main priorities are playing for the national team and slams, everything else is less important."
