Novak Djokovic’s Hectic Schedule Sparks Widespread Concern — All the Details Uncovered
Novak Djokovic’s schedule after the Wimbledon Championships surprised both fans and insiders. The former world number 1 decided to skip the Toronto Masters 1000 and this choice was not particularly surprising, considering that the Serbian legend has not played in Canada since 2018 and definitely needed a break after his loss to Jannik Sinner at the Championships.
However, most experts expected that the 38-year-old from Belgrade would at least participate in the Cincinnati Masters 1000 – scheduled in Ohio from August 7 to 18 – in order to play some official matches on the hard courts in view of the US Open.

In the latest episode of his podcast, American legend Jimmy Connors admitted that he was surprised by Nole’s recent choices: “I have to admit that his schedule worries me a bit. He hasn’t played a hard court match so far and it would have been good to see him in Cincinnati to test his level, but instead he preferred to stay home. We don’t know what to expect from him, although we can’t underestimate one of the best in history. We’ve seen him on vacation for the last month, that’s all we know.”
