'Torino is not my goal at all...'- Novak Djokovic makes his priorities clear for his future

Novak Djokovic's run in Shanghai has brought him closer to qualification in the ATP finals in Turin but has said that it is not one of his goals going forward. The Serbian legend opens up on his plans for the future and what he hopes to achieve going forward in the last few years of his career.

The 2024 season for Novak Djokovic has not been up to the standards where the Serbian legend has not gone on to win a single ATP title and only has an Olympic Gold medal to look back on.

However, the 37-year-old still had a great run in his last tournament where he played the finals of the Shanghai Masters against Jannik Sinner and played some great tennis as well. Though he did not win the tournament this has still given him a chance for qualifying for the ATP finals.
