Djokovic Withdraws from Paris Masters Due to Injury
Tennis player Novak Djokovic has announced his withdrawal from next week’s Paris Masters, as reported through his social media on Tuesday. This decision comes a few days after the Serbian player withdrew from an exhibition event due to a leg injury.
Djokovic, winner of 24 Grand Slam titles, has had limited participation in the current season, competing in only eight ATP Tour tournaments outside of the four majors.
Despite this, the 38-year-old tennis player managed to reach the semifinals at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open this season. Between the end of May and the end of September, his only participations were in these last three Grand Slams.
In his most recent official tournament, the Shanghai Masters, Djokovic was affected by a hip injury, which resulted in his elimination in the semifinals.
Djokovic was one of six players invited to the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia last week. After passing the first round, he lost to Jannik Sinner and then faced Taylor Fritz to determine third place, but withdrew after a set.
The ATP Finals, for which Djokovic qualified but did not participate in 2024, will be held from November 9 to 16 in Turin, Italy.
