Djokovic Withdraws: The New Schedule for the Masters Revealed!
Just hours before the start of the ATP Finals: Novak Djokovic, freshly crowned in Athens, has decided not to participate in the Tour Finals. An absence that slightly alters the schedule.
This is an announcement that has disappointed many. Barely recovered from his epic victory against Lorenzo Musetti in Athens, a three-hour battle to clinch his 101st career title, Novak Djokovic has confirmed his withdrawal from the ATP Finals in Turin due to a shoulder injury.
Thanks to this last-minute withdrawal, Lorenzo Musetti gets an unexpected second chance. The 23-year-old player thus joins the Jimmy Connors group, composed of Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur.
On his side, Félix Auger-Aliassime, who was counting on Musetti not winning the Athens tournament, inherits a spot in the Bjorn Borg group, alongside Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Ben Shelton.
But while the 2025 ATP Finals will begin this Sunday, November 9th in Turin, the organizers have ensured at least one day of rest for Musetti before his first match:
- 2:00 PM: Alcaraz vs De Minaur
- 8:30 PM: Zverev vs Shelton
(Between the two, at 6:00 PM, the pair Bolelli/Vavassori will face Cash/Glasspool.)
Thus, Musetti will take to the court on Monday, November 10th:
- 2:00 PM: Musetti vs Fritz
- 8:30 PM: Sinner vs Auger-Aliassime
Alcaraz, Carlos
De Minaur, Alex
