Djokovic withdrawn from Cincinnati Open

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Western & Southern Open, the ATP Masters 1000 tournament announced Monday.

Djokovic posted a note to his fans on social media after the announcement.

“Dear fans, I wanted to share with you that I am taking a bit longer to recover and recuperate after quite a taxing journey from Australia to Tokyo," Djokovic wrote. "Sadly, that means I won’t be ready to compete in Cincinnati this year, so I’ll turn my focus and attention to the US Open and spend some more time with family. See you in New York soon!”
