The 37-year-old Serb, currently ranked fifth in the world, sits sixth in “The Race,” the ATP’s annual rankings to determine the eight competitors at the Finals.

“I was really looking forward to being there, but due to ongoing injury I won’t be playing next week,” Djokovic said.
“Apologies to those who were planning to see me. Wishing all the players a great tournament. See you soon!”
Djokovic’s withdrawal was not a surprise as he had already pulled out of the Paris Masters, effectively ending what has been a difficult season.
