Novak Djokovic signs up to play Paris Masters doubles for first time since Cincinnati with new partner
ATPWednesday, 18 October 2023 at 20:30
Novak Djokovic's return to the Paris Masters will be marked by his participation in the doubles, this time alongside his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.
The World No. 1 is coming back to the courts after skipping the Asian season, making this his first tournament since winning the US Open. Djokovic is defending 600 points for reaching the final of Paris-Bercy, which he lost in 2022 to Holger Rune.
This isn't the only challenge for 'Nole' in the last Masters 1000 of the year. Besides being the first seed in the singles main draw, he has also appeared on the entry list for the doubles alongside fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
Although not a regular in doubles draws, Djokovic recently played in the Cincinnati Open alongside another compatriot, Nikola Cacic. However, they were eliminated in the first round by doubles specialists Michael Venus and Jamie Murray, with a score of 6-4, 6-2.
He also played doubles recently in the Davis Cup representing Serbia, where he and his partner faced the Czech pair of Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek and lost in a close match with a score of 5-7, 7-6, 3-10.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion still has three challenges marked on his calendar for this year, with the first stop being in Paris-Bercy. After that, he will head to the ATP Finals, where he must defend the title he won in 2022.
The year will conclude with the Davis Cup, and 'Nole' has already announced his intent to seek glory again alongside his country. This is why he is entering the main draw for doubles, similar to what he did at the Cincinnati Open, considering the matches that will be played in the Davis Cup, which will likely have him competing in doubles.
Serbia is in the quarterfinals of the tournament and will face Great Britain starting on November 23. Djokovic was the main figure for his country when they won their only Davis Cup in 2010.
