Novak Djokovic Returns to Shanghai: Aiming for Victory

Novak Djokovic is gearing up for a return to action next month at the Shanghai Masters, marking his first tournament appearance since being defeated by Carlos Alcaraz at the U.S. Open semi-finals.

The Serbian tennis star, a four-time Shanghai champion, aims to finish the season on a high note despite fierce competition from Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who have dominated the men's tennis scene in recent seasons.

Organizers announced that Djokovic, who has a record of 24 major wins, will compete in his 14th main-draw appearance in Shanghai from October 1-12, eyeing redemption after last year's final against Sinner.
