DOHA - Serbia's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic will play at the Doha ATP tournament in February next year, organisers announced on Wednesday evening.

The tournament will take place from February 17 through 22, an official statement said.

Djokovic, who last played in Doha in 2019, has won the tournament twice in his career - in 2016 and 2017.

Bulgaria's top tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has risen by one position in the ATP world rankings and currently holds the ninth spot, displacing Australian player Alex de Minaur. The updated rankings reveal Dimitrov's progress after reaching the finals of the tournament in Stockholm, where he lost to American Tommy Paul.

SHANGHAI - Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, who is seeded in the first round of the Shanghai Masters, will face the winner of the tie between American Alex Michelsen and Chinese Yunchaokete Bu in the second round of the tournament.

Grigor Dimitrov has concluded his participation in the US Open Tennis Championship due to an injury that forced him to withdraw from his quarterfinal match against Frances Tiafoe on the Arthur Ashe Center Court at the Flushing Meadows complex in New York. Tiafoe was leading 6:3, 6:7(5), 6:3, and had a 4:1 advantage in the fourth set when Dimitrov decided to retire from the match.

Grigor Dimitrov has advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open, marking his second time reaching this stage in the tournament. The Bulgarian player secured his place after a grueling nearly four-hour match against Russia's Andrey Rublev on the Arthur Ashe center court. Dimitrov emerged victorious in five sets, winning 6:3, 7:6 (3), 1:6, 3:6, 6:3.

Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas cruised past China's Zhang Zhizhen 6-3 6-3 6-1 on Friday, reaching the fourth round of the French Open for the sixth year in a row.

The finalist in 2021 sent more than 30 winners to wrap up the match in just 91 minutes, setting up a meeting with Italian Matteo Arnaldi, who stunned sixth seed Andrey Rublev earlier on Friday.
