“ATP Finals Set for Historic Shift as Djokovic Withdraws and Nadal Prepares for Retirement”

The ATP Finals are set to experience a significant shift as, for the first time since 2001, none of the legendary 'big three'—Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer—will be participating. Djokovic has announced his withdrawal from the Turin finale due to an unspecified injury, effectively concluding his 2024 season. This development follows Nadal's recent announcement that he will retire from professional tennis at the upcoming Davis Cup in Málaga later this month. While Federer has been retired since 2022, Djokovic has indicated that he has no immediate plans to step away from the sport. The absence of these iconic players marks a new era for the ATP Finals, highlighting the changing landscape of men's tennis.
