Djokovic
has
played
only
once
on
the
ATP
Tour
since
losing
the
US
Open
final
to
Daniil
Medvedev
on
September
12.
That
defeat
at
Flushing
Meadows
ended
Djokovic’s
hopes
of
achieving
a
calendar
Grand
Slam,
though
the
Serbian
has
returned
to
action
for
the
final
few
weeks
of
the
2021
season.
With
the
ATP
Finals
coming
up,
Djokovic
headed
to
Paris
looking
to
regain
the
title
he
claimed
in
his
last
appearance
in
the
tournament
back
in
2019.
He
needed
three
sets,
but
overcame
Marton
Fucsovics
6-2
4-6
6-3
in
his
first
match.
He
has
won
the
Paris
Masters
on
five
occasions
and
is
the
top
seed
this
time
around,
with
defending
champion
Medvedev
seeded
second.
Monfils,
seeded
15th,
beat
Miomir
Kecmanovic
and
Adrian
Mannarino
en
route
to
the
last
16,
but
confirmed
to
the
media
on
Thursday
that
he
had
been
advised
not
to
continue.
