World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is set to headline a star-studded doubles fixture at the upcoming Paris Masters, where he will team up with fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic for the very first time. The Rolex Paris Masters is scheduled to take place from October 30 to November 5.
Djokovic, a six-time singles winner in Paris, has dabbled in doubles at Bercy on three prior occasions (in 2008, 2016, and 2021). This marks his fourth foray into doubles this season, having previously competed in Adelaide-1, Cincinnati, and the Davis Cup.
While Djokovic hasn’t participated in the ATP Tour since his victory at the US Open in September, he’s poised to make his return to the court at the 2023 Paris Masters. The field promises to be highly competitive, led by the three doubles teams who have already secured their spots in the ATP Finals: Wesley Koolhof-Neal Skupski, Roland Garros champions Ivan Dodig/Austin Krajicek, and US Open finalists Rohan Bopanna-Matthew Ebden.
Other noteworthy doubles combinations to watch out for include US Open champions Rajeev Ram-Joe Salisbury and Marcelo Melo-Alexander Zverev.
