24-time major winner Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open with the start of the tennis calendar's final major, the U.S. Open, about three weeks away, a tournament official confirmed to the New York Times Monday.
Djokovic, 38, is coming off of back-to-back semifinal finishes at the French Open and Wimbledon, with both defeats coming at the hands of world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. The Serbian tennis star also seemed to be compromised during his Wimbledon match against Sinner after slipping and landing awkwardly on the grass court towards the end of his quarterfinal win over Flavio Cobolli.
