Novak Djokovic has announced his withdrawal from ATP Finals due to an unspecified injury, marking the end of his 2024 season.

Djokovic pulling out means that for the first time since 2001 there will be no member of the ‘big three’ present at the ATP Finals. While Roger Federer has been retired since 2022, Rafael Nadal will retire from professional tennis at the Davis Cup in Málaga later this month. Djokovic, however, has said that he currently has no plans to call it a day.
