Novak Djokovic, the world number 1 in tennis, will participate in the Cincinnati tournament and especially the US Open, he announced Thursday in priority to the 8.7 million subscribers of his official Twitter account.

"I'm happy to confirm that I will be competing in #CincyTennis and the US Open this year," writes Djoko. "It was not an easy decision to make, with all the obstacles and challenges on all sides, but the thought of returning to competition really excites me."
