Novak Djokovic returns to China Open after 11 years, aims for record
Summary

Novak Djokovic is set to return to the China Open in Beijing for the first time in 11 years. He hopes to bounce back from a first-round exit at the US Open, where he lost to Mariano Navone. Djokovic has an undefeated record of 29 wins at the China Open and aims to win his 102nd title. He previously won the tournament six times between 2009 and 2015, dropping only two sets in that span. With US Open champion Alexander Zverev as a likely opponent, the status of Djokovic's record streak is uncertain as the tournament progresses.
