Ohio (USA). Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has signed up for the doubles draw with compatriot Nikola Cacic at the Cincinnati Masters, his only practice event ahead of the US Open, according to the entry list released on Monday.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner was already confirmed for the singles ATP Masters 1000 event, which will be held from August 13-20.
It will not be the first time Djokovic will play a doubles event. Earlier, she played doubles before her successful title run at the Australian Open earlier in the year when she paired with Vasek Pospisil at the Adelaide Open, but the pair lost in the first round.
The Serbian has been out of action since a loss against world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final a little over two weeks ago. He further delayed his return to the tennis court by skipping the Canadian Open.
The singles and doubles ties in Cincinnati will be Djokovic’s only competitive matches ahead of the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the year, starting on August 28 at Flushing Meadows in New York.
Djokovic will return to America for the first time in two years. He missed last year’s edition due to the vaccine protocol, which requires international travelers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.(IANS)
