This is the event of the Paris-Bercy tournament: world number one Novak Djokovic is making his comeback on the men's tennis circuit, two months after his failure in the final of the US Open in New York.
In a tournament he enjoys, the Serbian wants to regain confidence before the last two major deadlines of the season.
TO ANALYSE
In the running in the singles and doubles tables: no doubt, Novak Djokovic is looking for confidence in Paris. The Serb is making his comeback on the men's tennis circuit two months after his resounding failure in the final of the US Open in New York against Russia's Daniil Medvedev. In addition to having missed the opportunity to win all the Grand Slam tournaments in a year, the world number one has failed to overtake his rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the number of titles won in the premier category of tennis. (20). This return to the Masters of Paris-Bercy, a tournament he has won five times, should allow him to relaunch before new deadlines at the end of the season.

Get in shape before the Masters Tournament and Davis Cup
If the world number one loves the Paris tournament, adding a sixth title in his pocket is not necessarily an objective. Above all, Novak Djokovic wants to turn the page of his New York failure and reassure himself about his state of form before two more important meetings: the Masters tournament in Turin, which brings together the eight best players of the year, and Davis Cup at the end of November. All before a new season in 2022 where he will try to win a 21st Grand Slam title, unprecedented in the history of men's tennis.
At the Masters of Paris-Bercy, the Serbian is counting on the support of the public, as he had in the final of the US Open, to find his best level.
Aligned first in doubles, Monday on the center court alongside his compatriot Filip Krajinovic, the world number one will enter the running on Tuesday, from 7:30 p.m., in the single-sided table against the tricky Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.
