Washington : Defending champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from next week’s Cincinnati Open on the heels of his triumph in the singles event at the Paris Olympics, organisers said on Thursday.
The announcement of the Serbian’s decision to skip the U.S. Open tune-up event comes four days after he beat Carlos Alcaraz in Paris to become only the fifth player to win all four singles Grand Slams and the Olympic title during their careers.
Djokovic’s withdrawal moves Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard into the draw.
