Djokovic says he is getting closer to solving his health problems

Novak Djokovic believes he is getting closer to overcoming the health problems that affected his performance throughout the season. The 39-year-old Serbian tennis player wants to boost his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals with a strong result at the Paris Masters.

Djokovic said he prioritized staying healthy over playing well for most of the year. He stated that the health issues were not related to his preparation or training intensity, and he criticized experts who had offered opinions on the matter.

Djokovic reminded that he has not won a major title since the 2023 US Open and that he is targeting his 25th Grand Slam title. Despite reaching the Australian Open final and playing in the Wimbledon semifinals, he was eliminated early at the French Open and the US Open.

Last month, the player won his 102nd career title in Beijing. He then exited early in Shanghai and Basel. He said he was disappointed to lose his match in Basel in a close contest, but that his physical condition had improved and he wanted to enjoy the final weeks of the season.

Djokovic's most important goal ahead is to take part in the ATP Finals in Turin. Only the top eight players in the season-end rankings earn the right to compete in this tournament.
