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 had limited participation in the current 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. Between the end of May and the end of September, his only tournaments were the last three 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 being exempt in the first round, Djokovic lost to Jannik Sinner, and then faced Taylor Fritz to determine third place, but stopped playing after a set.
The ATP Finals, for which Djokovic qualified but skipped in 2024, will be held from November 9 to 16 in Turin, Italy.
