The 2024 season has been one of the few seasons where we have not seen complete domination from the big three, especially from Novak Djokovic. Let us take a look at what could be his possible tournament schedule going into the 2025 season in a whole new different season in tennis.
The 2024 season has been surprisingly inconsistent by Novak Djokovic's standards where he has failed to win a single Grand Slam or ATP 1000 title. The only highlight for him this season was his iconic Olympic Gold medal victory in Paris after beating Carlos Alcaraz at the Roland Garros.
The year 2025 is coming and Djokovic has also made it clear that he wants to concentrate more on Grand Slams and international tournaments for Serbia and this is time to discuss what his possible schedule could be. Djokovic has also withdrawn from some big tournaments as well and there is a certainty that he will be missing a few next seasons as well.

Djokovic's possible schedule this season
We all have to remember that Djokovic is currently in the last phase of his career and has been suffering from some injury problems to his knees as well. So this will be a schedule that will most likely keep him fit throughout the season and make sure he gets enough match practice before the season.
1. Brisbane International (ATP 250)
This might not be a very big tournament but this will still have some big players and Djokovic will need some matches before the Australian Open which has been the Grand Slam event he has dominated the most in his entire career. This could be a good warmup for the Serbian legend.
2. Australian Open (Grand Slam)
Djokovic has made it clear that he will be concentrating on the Grand Slam events and this has been the tournament that he has dominated for a long time. There is also a lot of chance that he might get his hands on the 25th Grand Slam title looking at his record in Melbourne.
3. Monte- Carlo Masters (ATP 1000)
We cannot underestimate Novak Djokovic on clay and in fact, this is a tournament that he has had some great success in. The Clay season is very long and this will certainly be a tournament that will be important for her to get ready for the bigger tournaments going forward.
4. Italian Open ( ATP 1000)
The Clay season is very long and it might be better for Djokovic to play in Rome rather than Madrid in the next season. Djokovic has an impressive record in this tournament as well and this will give him enough matches before the Roland Garros.
5. French Open (Grand Slam)
The French Open at the Roland Garros will be the next target for Djokovic who will still be hoping to win as many Grand Slams as he wants. Djokovic has won 3 major titles in Paris and there is no doubt that he will keep trying his level best to win another big title as well.
6. Halle Open (ATP 500)
Djokovic might have won 7 Wimbledon titles but he is yet to win the Queens or the Halle Open title and might aim one of the ATP 500 and it will most likely be the Halle Open. This will be a tournament where he will have some support as well and will prepare him for the Grass season.
7. Wimbledon ( Grand Slam)
Wimbledon has been one of the most successful tournaments for Novak Djokovic and there is no doubt that he will continue to be a favourite in this Grand Slam event. Djokovic will be hoping to win his 8th title and keep his dominance during the grass-court season.
8. Cincinnati Open (ATP 1000)
Knowing Djokovic's injury issues there is a chance he might play just one ATP tournament before moving on to New York. The Cincinnati Open is where he has had more success and it will most likely be a tournament that he will play to get some matches before the big event.
9. US Open ( Grand Slam )
We already know that Djokovic will have all his focus on the Grand Slam titles and the US Open will certainly be one of them. He will also want to come back from the disappointing performance he displayed in the last US Open he played as well.
10. Davis Cup qualifiers (international)
Djokovic has made his targets clear and has said that he will continue to represent Serbia in all international tournaments. The qualifiers will be the first step and he will want to win more titles for his nation going forward as well. This is one of the major goals for Djokernole for the upcoming seasons.
11. Paris Masters (ATP 1000)
This will most likely be the last ATP tournament Djokovic will play which will mostly be for the fans who want to see him continue his dominance in the tournament. This will also be the perfect way to end the ATP season and it does not look like he will be playing in the ATP finals.
12. Davis Cup Finals ( If qualified)
The Davis Cup will be one of the main targets for Djokovic and will want to get his hands on the international trophy as much as possible. This seems like the perfect season for Novak Djokovic where he will have enough breaks in between and also keep himself in the rankings.
