February looks to be another difficult month for the Serbian, who is presently ranked seventh in the world, after having to withdraw against Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open semi-finals. In Doha, Djokovic lost to 35th-ranked Italian Matteo Berrettini 7-6 (4), 6-2 in a match that lasted just one hour and thirty-five minutes. This surprising outcome disqualified the Serbian from the ATP 500, which included tennis greats like Stefanos Tsitsipas (11th), Daniil Medvedev (6th), Alex de Miñaur (8th), Andrey Rublev (10th), and Carlos Alcaraz (3rd).
