Novak Djokovic hasn\u2019t been seen in competitive action on a tennis court since losing to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open. <\/p>\n

The 24-time major winner completed the full set when it came to semifinal losses at this year\u2019s Grand Slam events, with an emphatic loss to the Spaniard. <\/p>\n

Roger Federer has praised Djokovic<\/a> for something he\u2019s done this year, and the fact that he\u2019s still reaching the latter stages of the big tournaments at 38-years-old is still a positive. <\/p>\n

The Laver Cup took centre stage over the weekend, and Team Europe captain Yannick Noah predicted whether Djokovic can win another Grand Slam<\/a> during his career. <\/p>\n

Now, the Serbian looks to be leaving no stone unturned as the year plays out the final few months, with another tournament added to his schedule. <\/p>\n

After losing at the US Open<\/a>, it wasn\u2019t completely clear when we\u2019d see Djokovic out on court again. <\/p>\n

Clearly, he will qualify for the ATP Finals<\/a> in Turin, but other than that, it wasn\u2019t overly clear what the schedule looked like for Djokovic<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s been confirmed this afternoon that Djokovic will take part in the ATP Masters 1000 event in Shanghai, which starts on the 1st of October. <\/p>\n

Djokovic will now try to win that particular tournament for a fifth time, and he\u2019s also set to play an ATP 250 event in Athens and the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia before the Tour Finals. <\/p>\n

He is also confirmed for the Six Kings Slam in Saudi and for the Athens 250 (that his family owns).<\/p>\n

Curious to see if he plays Turin. https:\/\/t.co\/HSTIc8SPIS<\/a><\/p>\n

Djokovic aiming for fifth Shanghai title<\/p>\n

Clearly, Djokovic is keen to play some more tennis and wants to end the year with a bit of a flourish. <\/p>\n

Sam Querrey is one person who has given Djokovic some advice<\/a> when it comes to winning another major, not that he really needs any help when it comes to having what it takes to win. <\/p>\n

Djokovic was criticised for something before the US Open<\/a>, but it would appear he\u2019s keen to get back on the court in a competitive sense. <\/p>\n

The Shanghai Masters should give him fond memories of winning before, and the hope will be that he can win a meaningful title before the year is out. <\/p>\n
