Defending champion missing
Injured! Djokovic cancels participation in ATP Finals
Tennis star Novak Djokovic has canceled his participation in the ATP Finals due to an unspecified injury. The Grand Slam record winner announced this decision on Tuesday. The Serb had already skipped the Masters 1000 tournament in Paris, which was won by German Alexander Zverev.
"I was really looking forward to being there, but due to a lingering injury I won't be playing next week," Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner and Olympic champion secured the title last year by beating Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals.
Sinner, Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz have secured their places at the ATP Finals, which will take place in Turin from November 10 to 17. Following the withdrawal of Djokovic, who has been plagued by knee problems of late, Casper Ruud, Alex De Minaur and Andrej Rublev are expected to be the last three participants.
