Novak is registered for the Masters in Indian Wells, which takes place October 4-17, and he can be expected to play the Masters in Paris by the end of the year, as well as the final Masters, which will be played in Turin this year.

The same schedule has been announced by his main competitor in the battle for the top of the ATP list, Daniil Medvedev, who is also not among registered participants for the tournament in Vienna, which will certainly have a very strong lineup, because the main seeds will be young forces Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev , Matteo Berrettini, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger Aliassime, Jannik Sinner...

The tournament in Vienna will be held October 23-31. Novak played this tournament last year, where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals after beating Filip Krajinovic and Borna Coric in the opening two rounds.

In the quarterfinals, Novak was surprised by Italian Lorenzo Sonego, against whom he suffered the heaviest defeat of his career when it comes to matches played in two sets at ATP tournaments. Sonego won 6-2, 6-1.

Djokovic is currently in Serbia, where he is resting after the US Open. He was recently photographed touring vineyards and picking grapes with his wife Jelena and friends.
