The Serbian is experiencing a drift in his tennis outside of the Grand Slams. His presence in Indian Wells and Miami is up in the air, and the lack of goals to achieve is worrying.
Novak Djokovic
Playing a doubles match on the fourth most important court at the ATP 500 in Doha, but partnered with a certain Novak Djokovic. With its pros and cons, Fernando Verdasco found this week the ideal moment to hang up the racket, an event that took shape this Wednesday when they were defeated in the quarterfinals by Heliovaara and Patten. At the end of the match, the Serbian player encouraged the audience time and time again to give a thunderous farewell to the former world No. 7, who received all the warmth from the crowd responding with several greetings to the fans. Thus, he put an end to an impressive 25-year career, one of those tennis players that we will never forget.
Thank you for everything @FerVerdasco 👊

After being eliminated in Doha against Matteo Berrettini, the Serbian tennis player was transparent in the press conference, confessing that he is still far from his best level.
"I played without pain," said Novak Djokovic a couple of days ago after losing to Matteo Berrettini. The Serbian's statement was confirmed by his participation in the doubles alongside Fernando Verdasco the next day at the same ATP Doha 2025. It was today, Friday, when As caught Nole limping noticeably; we don't know if he has some physical problems or if his foot simply fell asleep on the way from the hotel to the airport.

The Italian needed five matches to defeat Novak Djokovic for the first time, a victory that will boost his confidence this week in Doha.
The Italian, ranked 35th in the world, pulls off a huge surprise at ATP Doha 2025 with an impressive two-set victory over Novak.
Novak Djokovic clarified in the press conference after his doubles match at the ATP Doha 2025 about the state of his professional relationship with Andy Murray after the first Grand Slam of the season: "We had a chat the day after finishing the Australian Open, reflected on the period we spent together. We agreed that he would take some time to think, talk to his family, and decide if he wants to continue working. I expressed my desire to keep collaborating with him, so I am very happy that he accepted. It is indefinite how long we will work together, but we agreed most likely in the United States and some clay court tournaments. Then we will see how it goes".
