Djokovic Returns with Straight-Sets Win Over Tabilo in Athens
Posted : 05 November 2025
After three weeks away from competition, Novak Djokovic returned in style, defeating Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo 7-6 (7/3), 6-1 in the Athens ATP round of 16 on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old Serb, who had lost his last two matches against Tabilo, took control after a tight first set and cruised through the second to reach his 225th tour-level quarterfinal.
Djokovic will next face either Nuno Borges or Eliot Spizzirri as he builds momentum ahead of the upcoming ATP Finals in Turin.
