Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the upcoming Rolex Paris Masters, where he is a record seven-time champion.
The 38-year-old last competed earlier this month in the semi-finals in Shanghai, where he fell to surprise champion Valentin Vacherot.
“Dear Paris, Unfortunately I’ll not compete at this year’s Rolex Paris Masters,” Djokovic wrote on social media. “I have amazing memories and great success over the years, especially being able to conquer the title 7 times. Hope to see you next year. Merci 🙏”
