  • Novak Djokovic confirmed his participation in the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati.
  • This marks his return to the court over a month after his Wimbledon semifinal loss.
  • Djokovic plans to focus on major tournaments, skipping the Montreal Masters but targeting the US Open.

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic, formerly the world No. 1, has announced his return to the professional circuit at the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati. The event is scheduled from August 13-23, marking his first appearance on court more than a month after his defeat in the Wimbledon semifinals.

"I am happy to announce that I will return at the Cincinnati tournament," Djokovic stated in a video shared on Instagram. The 39-year-old, currently ranked world No. 5, reflected on his past performance in Cincinnati, recalling a "best finals in three sets" Masters 1000 match in 2023 against Carlos Alcaraz, which lasted 3 hours and 49 minutes.

Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, is increasingly limiting his participation in tournaments outside the four major events. His most recent match was a Wimbledon semifinal loss to Jannik Sinner, who went on to win the tournament. Djokovic has also withdrawn from the Masters 1000 event in Montreal (August 2-13), the tournament preceding Cincinnati. His next major commitment will be the US Open, beginning August 30, where he aims to secure a record 25th Grand Slam title.

I am happy to announce that I will return at the Cincinnati tournament.
