Novak Djokovic says he will return to competition at the Cincinnati Masters next month, after an almost month-long break following his Wimbledon semifinal exit. Multiple reports state that the 39-year-old lost at Wimbledon to Jannik Sinner, and now plans to play in Cincinnati from August 13–23. Djokovic’s announcement comes through the tournament’s social media, where he says he is “very happy to announce” his participation and that it will be his first appearance in Cincinnati since 2023.
The reports also note that Djokovic last won the Cincinnati Masters in 2023, marking a significant milestone in his record there. Cincinnati is part of the ATP Masters 1000 series, and Djokovic’s return is positioned as his next major event on the tour following Wimbledon. His statement does not include further details on his draw or preparation beyond confirming his presence at the tournament.
