Novak Djokovic Withdraws from ATP Finals

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the upcoming ATP Finals in Turin, citing an ongoing injury, marking the first time since 2001 that no member of the 'Big Three' will compete in the event. Djokovic, who has expressed a lack of interest in the Finals, has been pictured vacationing in the Maldives and stated that the ATP Finals are not a priority as he focuses on Grand Slam events. This withdrawal clears the path for players like Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur, and Andrey Rublev to compete in the prestigious tournament. Jannik Sinner, who has had an impressive season with victories at the Australian Open, US Open, and three ATP 1000 titles, leads the field. The tournament, taking place from November 10 to 17, will feature top players including Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Taylor Fritz. Djokovic ends 2024 with no ATP Tour titles but secured an Olympic gold medal in Paris, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in what he described as the biggest achievement of his career.
