Novak Djokovic will play in the doubles competition at the Cincinnati Masters, dropping a big hint that he will play the US Open.
The world number one has dabbled in doubles before, often with great success, particularly in the ATP Cup in which he led Serbia to success in January, and he will team with compatriot Filip Krajinovic in Cincinnati.
Djokovic is also no stranger to teaming with 28-year-old Krajinovic. The pair have played together five times before, most recently at the Shanghai Masters in October 2019.

Sam Querrey and Jack Sock are also in the draw, as are Hubert Hurkacz and John Isner. British number one Dan Evans has paired with David Goffin too
