Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the upcoming Mutua Madrid Open due to injury, the tournament announced on Friday.
The former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings last competed at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in March and missed the Miami Open presented by Itau later that month due to a right shoulder injury. The Serbian is a three-time titlist at the Madrid ATP Masters 1000 event, where he most recently lifted the trophy in 2019.
Novak Djokovic, tres veces campeón del #MMOPEN, no podrá participar en esta edición del torneo.
Deseamos que estés de vuelta lo antes posible y podamos disfrutar de tu tenis como tantas veces lo hemos hecho en la Caja Mágica.
