Novak Djokovic, the former world No 1 and 24-time Grand Slam champion, has signed up to play the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, which takes place in mid-February.
The tournament, which gets upgraded from an ATP 250 series to an ATP 500 series event in 2025, confirmed the news on their social media accounts on Wednesday.
The Serb, now ranked No 7 in the world, joins world No 1 Jannik Sinner, world No 5 Daniil Medvedev and world No 8 Andrey Rublev in the field.
The Serb won back-to-back titles in Doha in 2016 and 2017, and last played in Doha in 2018.
The 37-year-old, who has begun working with Andy Murray as his coach, will begin his 2025 season in Brisbane and then head to Melbourne for the Australian Open.
