Djokovic has played in only two events since his disappointing third-round exit from the US Open. He reached the final of the Shanghai Masters but was defeated by Jannik Sinner, before losing against the Italian again in the Six Kings Slam.

Novak Djokovic is the most successful player in the history of the ATP Finals when it comes to title wins, but he will not be defending his crown in 2024.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Novak Djokovic won’t defend his ATP Finals title after ruling himself out on Tuesday due to an unspecified injury. Djokovic wrote in an Instagram story, “I was really looking forward to being there, but due to ongoing injury I won’t be playing next week. Apologies to those who were planning to see me.”
