Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open, the tournament announced on Thursday.
The Serbian owns a 45-12 record at the ATP Masters 1000 hard-court event, triumphing in 2018, 2020 and 2023. Twelve months ago, Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz in an epic deciding-set tie-break in the title match.
The 37-year-old holds a 29-7 record on the season, having captured his first Olympic gold medal in the men’s singles at the Paris Olympics last week, when he defeated Alcaraz in two tie-breaks less than two months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee to take a 4-3 lead in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
Djokovic is currently sixth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin. The seven-time Nitto ATP Finals champion is trying to qualify for the season finale for the 17th time. Since 2007, the only year in which he missed out was 2017. The 2024 year-end championships will be held in Turin from 10-17 November.
