Novak Djokovic bowed out of the Australian Open semifinals with an injury, but he will be ready to play at the Qatar Open in Doha, as his participation is all but confirmed. Djokovic last played at the Australian Open in January, making the last-four stage where\u00a0Alexander Zverev\u00a0awaited him.<\/p>\n

The German took the opening set of that match, after which Djokovic retired, the reason for which was later revealed to be muscle tear.<\/p>\n

Reports after that retirement said that the Qatar Open in Doha was a target for the Serbian. And now it’s been confirmed that he will travel to Qatar to practice and prepare for the event that is scheduled to be held from February 17-22, 2025.<\/p>\n

His participation hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but expectations are that he will play.<\/p>\n
