In the first stint, the Serbia Open took place between 2009-2012, with Novak Djokovic buying the license and staging the event at his tennis center in Belgrade.
After four editions, the Serbian capital stayed without an ATP event for nine years, with Andreas Seppi as the last champion in 2012. Making great progress this season, Belgrade will host a couple of professional tournaments, including the fifth edition of the ATP Serbia Open next week. Novak Djokovic leads the field that could have been stronger, with Dominic Thiem, Gael Monfils, Stan Wawrinka and Borna Coric all withdrawing and leaving the struggling Italian Matteo Berrettini as Novak's main rival.
Djokovic will face Soonwoo Kwon or a qualifier in the second round before a more serious quarter-final duel against Laslo Djere, Miomir Krcmanovic or Juan Ignacio Londero. The Australian Open semi-finalist Aslan Karatsev and Marton Fucsovics are the players to beat in the second quarter, with the young guns Alexei Popyrin and Sebastian Korda hoping to spoil their party and reach the semis.
Dusan Lajovic should advance into the semis from the third quarter, while Filip Krajinovic and Matteo Berrettini stand as the favorites in the bottom quarter.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
