Tennis News: Novak Djokovic brews confidence ahead of Paris Masters; "It shows me what kind of world I live in" Djokovic takes a look at the tennis ecosystem

Given that this is the last Master 100 tournament of the year, many great faces will be seen playing this season of the Paris Masters. 

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are all set to play in this tournament. Meanwhile, the current World No. 1 and the youngest tennis player to hold this position will also be present in the game. 

Given how Djokovic missed some of the major tournaments this season due to his refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19, he's all set and confident about the upcoming Paris Masters.

In a statement, he challenged all his fellow tennis players and warned them that his confidence had increased after winning the last two titles. 

"I'm going to Paris. I am preparing for the last two tournaments of the year, the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals. I feel good. These last two competitions, in Astana and Tel Aviv, and the titles won have raised my level of confidence as well as my motivation," said Djokovic. 

Nadal has never won a Paris Masters, while Djokovic is a six-time champion in Paris. Djokovic is currently in the 7th position in the ATP World rankings and wishes to fix it before the end of the season. 

Meanwhile, the Serb also talked about his struggles of 2022 when he suffered a three-year ban from Australia. He still holds that he has a right to freedom over his own body, and forcing someone to get vaccinated is unfair. 

"I know that everything that has happened to me this year, especially with Australia and everything that came after, and dealing with me that I didn't like and had never experienced before, taught me some important life lessons," Djokovic told Sportal.

"It shows me what kind of world I live in, especially in this tennis ecosystem. A lot of masks fell off, so to speak, and it's very interesting for me to see how someone treated me this year," he added. 

The Serb didn't take any names and refused to criticize anyone as he expressed that everyone has their opinion on his decision, and he still maintained that he has the right to freedom of choice. He always knew the consequences that'll follow his decision.
