On the evening of November 5 (Vietnam time), Novak Djokovic announced his withdrawal from the ATP Tour Finals due to injury, meaning his 2024 season will officially end.
"It's an honor to qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin. I was really looking forward to being there, but due to injury I won't be able to play next week," Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
“Sorry to everyone who has been waiting to see me. I wish all the players a great tournament, see you soon.”
The 37-year-old has won the Tour Finals in Turin in each of the last two seasons, and seven times in total in his career. Djokovic is not fit to play this year after withdrawing from the Paris Masters last week.
This means the 24-time Grand Slam champion will end 2024 with only a single title, the Paris Olympic gold medal. This is also his lowest number of titles in his 19-year professional career. Failure to defend the ATP Finals title will see Djokovic drop out of the world's top four.
Djokovic's withdrawal from the ATP Tour Finals means Alex De Minaur and Andrey Rublev will be in the mix. They will join Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Casper Ruud.
