Novak Djokovic withdrew from the Italian Open on Tuesday, which is set to begin on May 7. It's the first time he won't play the tournament since he made his first appearance there in 2007.
This decision by the 24-time major champion comes as he's currently on a three-match losing streak. He most recently lost in his first match at the Madrid Open to Matteo Arnaldi. Before that, he lost in his first match to Alejandro Tabilo at Monte Carlo. The streak began at the Miami Open final when Djokovic lost to Jakub Menšík.
