In the latest interview, Novak Djokovic indicated that he should skip the 2020 Paris Masters and focus on other tournaments during the rest of the 2020 season.
Novak Djokovic is 2019 Paris Masters champion, and due to the new rankings system, which was temporarily created due to Coronavirus pandemic stopping the ATP calendar, the Serbian can't add any points to the ATP Rankings in Paris. Therefore, he has decided to play the Erste Bank Open in Vienna and the ATP Finals in London as reported by Mozzart Sport.
"By the end of the year, I will play in two more tournaments, in Vienna and London. I haven't been to Vienna for 15 years, that tournament wasn't in my original plan, but I'm really looking forward to it. This has been a strange season and I hope to finish it in the first place. That is my goal and I am working on it, "said Djokovic in Visoko, where he spent the last three days.
"I played a lot in the last two and a half months, and I could not go out, to move first because of restrictions, and then because of quarantine rules in tournaments. It exhausted me quite mentally. I recovered here."
Withdrawal of the world number 1 has not been confirmed by the Paris Masters yet, however, it is expected that Djokovic won't play Masters in France this year.

- 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

- 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
