After the final Masters in Turin, Yannick Siner confirmed the first place, while the Serbian dropped drastically, confirming his worst year since 2017, when he finished the year in 12th place. Djokovic then faced serious problems with an elbow injury, which he refused surgery on, resulting in poor performances at major tournaments, including second-round eliminations at the Australian Open, the quarterfinals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, where he had to retire. . After these matches, he ended the season and missed the US Open, returning to the courts only in 2018.

The good news for Djokovic is that there are few points to defend in 2025. Expectations are that he will focus on the four Grand Slam tournaments and attack other major titles in order to return to the top.
