Novak Djokovic announces schedule change as Serb will do 'whatever it takes'

Novak Djokovic is keen to compete more in 2025

Novak Djokovic has announced plans to rejig his schedule as he bids to do “whatever it takes” to beat his young rivals. The world No. 7 is currently playing in Brisbane and has already signed up for some extra tournaments in the coming months. Djokovic is hoping to end his Grand Slam-winning drought after going without a Major title in 2024.

The Serb limited his schedule last year and ended his season in October. But he’s already planning to compete more often to keep up with his young rivals and stay in contention for the biggest titles.

As well as this week’s singles and doubles duty in Brisbane, Djokovic will compete in the Australian Open before returning to the Doha Open for the first time in six years. The 37-year-old has now revealed that he’s also planning to play the full ‘Sunshine Double’ after skipping the tournament in Miami in 2024. Asked whether there had been a shift in his previous attitude about limiting his schedule, Djokovic said: “We'll see. It's just the beginning of the season.

“I mean, I have the next kind of five, six months' calendar in my head, you know, possible scenario. But, you know, still have to review post-Australia. “I'm actually committed to play Doha, and then I have to see, you know, Indian Wells, Miami, and I wish to play both, but we have to see how I feel and talk with the team. “And just manage the schedule right, because I want to peak at the biggest tournaments. Slams, obviously, but also Masters events, the Masters events that I'd like to play my best tennis.” While Djokovic seems set on competing more, he hasn’t committed just yet. “So yeah, let's see,” he added.
