Binaghi: "We have confirmation that Djokovic will play in Turin"

Just days before the major year-end event, the rumor is finally put to rest: Novak Djokovic will indeed be present at the ATP Finals. At 38 years old, the Serb will once again challenge the best for the world throne.

"We have confirmation that Novak Djokovic will play in Turin next week. This event therefore promises to be exciting as it will also be decisive for the world number one ranking," says Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis Federation.

However, while this confirmation surely delights tennis fans, it changes everything regarding the final qualifying spots. Because if Djokovic is confirmed, the battle for the last qualifying spot promises to be hotter than ever.

Indeed, Lorenzo Musetti no longer has any room for error: to secure his ticket to Turin, the Italian must win in Athens. Otherwise, the remaining ticket will go to Auger-Aliassime.
