The outcome is Yes if Novak Djokovic is named to one of the eight singles main-draw spots for the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals according to official ATP information.

  • Novak Djokovic — the market puts it at 2%, closing 15 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Novak Djokovic wins the 2027 Australian Open Men's Singles title. It resolves to No if he does not win that specific tournament. Readers often mistake this question for any other tennis event or assume the linked Paris Masters story affects the outcome.
  • Before the 2027 season — the market puts it at 2%, closing 1 Feb 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Novak Djokovic announces his retirement from the ATP before the 2027 season starts.
