Novak Djokovic’s participation at the 2025 Madrid Open has been announced, but how does the tennis legend’s likely schedule look for the rest of the season?
Speaking ahead of the 2025 Brisbane International, where he started his campaign, Djokovic outlined his intention to play more in 2025 than he did last year.
“I’m looking to play more tournaments this year than I played last season, so hopefully also my level is going to go up,” he explained.
“Hopefully I will win a few more tournaments and my ranking will go up to where it should be.
“The way I’m feeling today, I still think that I can go strong for years to come.
“But how long I’m going to feel motivated to keep going is unpredictable. I still love this sport and I still love competing.”
Since his appearance in Brisbane, Djokovic has played the Australian Open, the Qatar Open and the Indian Wells Open, while he is currently in action at the Miami Open.
Here, we look at Djokovic’s possible calendar for the remainder of the 2025 ATP Tour season.
Monte Carlo Masters (Masters 1000) – April 6-13
Since making his debut in 2006, Djokovic — a Monte Carlo resident — has missed the Masters tournament in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin only once (in 2011). He is a two-time champion at the historic clay-court event.
Madrid Open (Masters 1000) – April 23-May 4
The Madrid Open has announced that Djokovic is set to play the tournament for the first time since 2022. Djokovic has won the clay-court event at La Caja Majica three times.
Italian Open (Masters 1000) – May 7-18
Djokovic has made 18 consecutive appearances at the Italian Open since making his main draw debut at the Foro Italico in 2007. The Serb is expected to return this year to seek a seventh title in Rome.
French Open (Grand Slam) – May 25-June 8
The Serbian will turn 38 shortly before the start of his bid to win a fourth French Open title and 25th major.
Wimbledon (Grand Slam) – June 30-July 13
The seven-time Wimbledon winner will try again to equal Roger Federer’s men’s singles title record after losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the previous two championship matches.

Cincinnati Open (Masters 1000) – August 7-18
The former world No 1 has featured in only one of the last four editions of the Cincinnati Masters — although 2021 and 2024 were Olympic years, which congested this part of the calendar.
Djokovic has not played the Canadian Open since 2018, indicating his clear preference to compete in Cincinnati when playing a US Open warm-up in the latter part of his career.
US Open (Grand Slam) – August 24-September 7
The Serb will chase his fifth US Open crown this year, having won his most recent major at Flushing Meadows in 2023.
Serbia vs. Turkey (Davis Cup World Group I) – September 12-14
After losing to Denmark in the 2025 Davis Cup first round qualifier in Djokovic’s absence (due to injury), Serbia will face Turkey in a World Group I tie determining who reaches the 2026 first round qualifier.
Djokovic led Serbia to victory against Greece in the same situation in September 2024, and he will likely feature again this year given his commitment to representing his country.
Shanghai Masters (Masters 1000) – October 1-12
The four-time Shanghai champion made his first appearance in China since 2019 at last year’s tournament, and he may appear again this year in a nation where he receives huge support.
Paris Masters (Masters 1000) – October 27-November 2
Djokovic skipped the Paris Masters in 2024, and this could be a tournament he foregoes again given its spot in the calendar, although his commitment to playing more Masters 1000 events so far in 2025 leaves the door open.
ATP Finals – November 9-16
Djokovic withdrew from last year’s edition of the ATP Finals despite qualifying as he brought his campaign to an early close. It is uncertain whether the record seven-time champion will return to Turin if he finishes in the top eight.
