Novak Djokovic will return to the ATP Tour next week at the Paris Masters as the defending champion in what will be his penultimate tournament of the season. It hasn’t been an ideal season for Djokovic given his vaccination status but he hopes to end the season well as he is permitted to play across Europe despite not being vaccinated.

Ahead of the Paris Masters, Djokovic spoke about the GOAT debate once again in an interview with RMC Sport. The GOAT debate is a ever-lasting debate in the tennis circles to determine who is the greatest amongst Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. The Serb said that there are a lot of factors that are included in the discussion and he’d rather let everyone else discuss that. He is just very motivated to make history for the sport.
