The last week of the regular season on the ATP tour will feature an unexpected and notable interest, with the ATP 250 Athens 2025 tournament and the participation of Novak Djokovic. The Serbian player will be preparing for the assault on the ATP Finals 2025 at a tournament directed by his brother Djordje and that suddenly changed its location, leaving Belgrade to move to the Greek capital. Let us tell you all the details.

It is usually a transition week, an opportunity for modest tennis players to exploit their chances to earn points and win a title taking advantage of the power vacuum, but this year the last competition week in the regular season could be thrilling. This is guaranteed by the dispute of the ATP 250 Athens 2025, an event with a new location at the OAKA arena in the Greek capital, where we will see Novak Djokovic enjoying a massive welcome in his new home.

Why is Novak Djokovic playing in the Athens tournament?

The Serbian obtained a residence permit in Greece through a Golden Visa, requested from the Greek government months after a significant conflict began with the Serbian government. Novak’s support for the popular protests that rocked the country months ago, denouncing the endemic corruption of the government, led to a withdrawal of support by the government in many aspects, such as his academy there.

In return, Djokovic decided to move to Greece with his family, cancel the Belgrade tournament, and relocate it to Athens. His commitment has been unwavering from the start, aiming to participate and give back to the Greek society for the warm reception he has received. Furthermore, it will serve as a testing ground for the ATP Finals 2025, the last event of the year where the Serbian will compete. To add to all this, it is noteworthy that his brother, Djordje, is the event's director.
