Difficult (and happy) moment for Novak Djokovic.
The Serbian wants to end the season as the world no.1, but his ambition could be hampered by a great event: the birth of his 1st child.
Djokovic: the baby should come in about 1 month
Nole confirmed that he is expected to become a father very soon “We are expecting it to happen in about a month. So for now I’m playing here. I’m playing Shanghai. I’m supposed to play Paris and London. Nothing particularly changes in terms of tennis schedule.”
Why he may skip Paris
Paris will start the 27th of October and that means that if the baby will come in that period Nole will likely skip the tournament. The Serbian may also be not at his very best to play the World Tour Final.
Rankings
Djokovic leads Federer of 1.130 points (that will be more after Beijing). The Serbian needs to have a good Asian Swing to preserve his lead in the ranking and have the opportunity to skip Paris without being too worried about it.
