Novak Djokovic has officially qualified for the 2025 edition of the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, but it is unclear if he will be present at the most prestigious event on the ATP calendar yet. The former world No.1 who triumphed in Turin in both 2022 and 2023 has not fully defined his schedule between now and the end of the season, only confirming his participation in the Athens ATP 250 for the time being.
Although he did not achieve his goal of winning another Grand Slam title, the Serbian veteran still had a satisfying season in which he won his 100th career title and was very consistent in the Majors (reaching the semifinals in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York).
The 38-year-old from Belgrade is third in the ATP Race and is probably the strongest player behind Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who have taken control of the men's tour and are destined to dominate for many more years barring surprises.

Will Nole be in Turin?
Having not participated in the ATP Finals in the last edition, Nole is stuck at 16 appearances at the Masters again. In front of him there is only his old rival Roger Federer with 17 participations, while the third in this particular ranking is Andre Agassi with 13.
Despite repeated losses to Sinner and Alcaraz over the past two seasons, Novak reiterated that the thought of retirement has not crossed his mind yet and that he wishes to continue competing at the highest level following in the footsteps of other legends of modern sport such as LeBron James, Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The collective feeling is that next year will be decisive for the future of the Serbian legend, who wants to write a new page in tennis history by grabbing the 25th Major title of his amazing career. His next chance will be at the 2026 Australian Open.
