After the defeat at the US Open final, Djokovic spent a lot of time to rest. In early November, the world's No. 1 player decided to re -export, with the destination of Paris Masters. This is also the last ATP 1000 prize of the year.
In Paris Masters, Djokovic is ranked No. 1 seed and exempted from round 1. In the first match in the second round, the Serbian star defeated Marton Fucsovics after 3 sets. In the third round, his opponent is Gael Monfils, the player ranked No. 15 of the tournament.
In the second round, Monfils has just had a choking victory against Adrian Mannarino. Notably, the French tennis player fell in this match. Speaking before meeting Djokovic, Monfils admitted that he could not attend this competition by injury.
In the end, Monfils decided to withdraw from Paris Masters this year, and at the same time quit playing until the end of 2021. Sharing before the media, the French star said: “I feel quite optimistic. In about 10 days, I will be 100%healthy again. However, because of my muscle injury, what I need to do is rest.”
With Monfils withdrawing, Djokovic has officially won tickets to the quarterfinals of Paris Masters 2021. Here, his opponent is Taylor Fritz – the 26th rank player in the world. Due to not having to compete in the third round, Nole will save effort to conquer the ATP 1000 title in France.
