The information was confirmed by the organizing committee in the early morning of August 5 (Vietnam time), but the specific reason was not stated.
This is the second consecutive year Djokovic has been absent from the ATP Masters 1000. Last year, he did not participate because he had just won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This time, despite no injury problems and just finishing his senior season, Djokovic has decided to withdraw.
Experts say the 38-year-old tennis player wants to focus on the 2025 US Open - the last Grand Slam of the year. The tournament is expected to take place in harsh, hot weather conditions, requiring players to prepare carefully physically.
Djokovic has only won one title at the Geneva Open so far this season. He has reached the semi-finals of all three Grand Slams but has not been able to enter any final matches.
The upcoming US Open is considered Djokovic's last chance to conquer his 25th Grand Slam title in his career, before considering the possibility of retiring at the end of the year.
