Novak Djokovic will not play the final ATP Masters 1000 event of the season for the second year running.
The 24-time major winner announced Tuesday that he had withdrawn from the Rolex Paris Masters, which begins Sunday in its first year at La Defense Arena.
“Dear Paris, unfortunately I’ll not compete at this year’s @RolexPMasters. I have amazing memories and great success over the years, especially being able to conquer the title seven times. Hope to see you next year. Merci,” he shared.
Djokovic previously noted at the Shanghai Rolex Masters earlier this month his non-committal to compete at a tour event again this season outside of the Hellenic Championship in Athens, where he now has a base. The ATP 250 event relocated from Belgrade this year, with Djokovic’s brother Djordje serving as tournament director since 2021.
