Novak Djokovic Set for Basel Return After 15 Years

Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic will return to the ATP 500 tournament in Basel later this month, marking his first appearance at the event since 2011. The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who recently claimed his 102nd ATP Tour title in Beijing, will look to build momentum after a mixed season that included a semifinal run at Wimbledon and early exits at major tournaments like the French Open and US Open.

Djokovic’s season began strongly with a semifinal victory over Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open, though he fell short in the final against Carlos Alcaraz. His form has fluctuated, with notable struggles on clay, including early losses in Rome and the French Open, before rebounding with a dominant title win in Beijing, where he defeated three top-10 players en route to victory.

Despite a first-round exit in Shanghai, Djokovic expressed confidence in his game and hinted at potential participation in the Nitto ATP Finals if he qualifies.
