[Reporter Lu Yangxuan/Comprehensive Report] The 39-year-old Serbian star Novak Djokovic has confirmed that he will receive a wild card to participate in the Basel Men's Tennis Championships. He will compete for tickets to the year-end finals in this ATP500-level indoor hard court tournament and tie the record of the "Swiss King" Roger Federer for the 103rd career crown.
After a round trip to the US Open this year, Djokovic dramatically won the men's singles championship at the China Open, continuing his unbeaten streak of 34 wins and 0 losses in tournament history, becoming the seven-time champion in Beijing. However, he then moved to the Shanghai Masters and was stopped in the first round. Djokovic is currently ranked 11th in the ATP year-end finals standings. After Italian tennis king Jannik Sinner ended his season early due to a knee injury, he had to climb to ninth place to have a chance to qualify.
Djokovic won the 102nd title of his career after being crowned the king in Beijing. He is only one championship away from tying Feder's career championship record. This is the fourth time that Djokovic has participated in Basel in his career and the second time since 2011. He defeated Feder to win the title when he first participated in 2009. He is seeking the second crown in the history of this tournament.
