Novak Djokovic retirement hint dropped as Paris Masters boss reveals new timeline

The Paris Masters tournament director has suggested that Novak Djokovic could be making his last appearance at the event before ending his career. The world No. 11 has not played the final Masters 1000 of the season since 2023, when he beat Grigor Dimitrov to lift the trophy here for the seventh time. Djokovic is finally making his long-awaited return to the Paris Masters this week, but he’s been handed a brutal draw, coming up against Swiss Indoors champion Valentin Vacherot in the first round.
