Djokovic Withdraws from Paris Masters Due to Injury
Novak Djokovic announced his withdrawal from next week’s Paris Masters via his social media on Tuesday, a few days after abandoning an exhibition event due to a leg injury.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion has participated infrequently this season, competing in only eight ATP Tour events outside of the four major tournaments.
Djokovic, 38 years old, reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open this season. From the end of May to the end of September, the only tournaments in which he participated were those last three Grand Slams.
In his most recent official tournament, the Shanghai Masters, Djokovic was affected by a hip injury during his exit in the semifinals.
He was one of the six men invited to the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia last week. After a bye in the first round, Djokovic lost to Jannik Sinner, then faced Taylor Fritz to determine third place, but stopped playing after one set.
The ATP Finals, for which Djokovic qualified but skipped in 2024, will be held from November 9 to 16 in Turin, Italy.
