Djokovic withdraws from Indian Wells : Rashtra News
World
number
one
Djokovic
was
set
to
return
to
action
at
the
rescheduled
event
after
losing
the
US
Open
final
to
Daniil
Medvedev
in
straight
sets.
However,
the
Serbian
–
one
of
two
five-time
winners
of
the
competition
alongside
Roger
Federer
–
has
decided
to
pull
out
for
an
unspecified
reason.
“I
am
sorry
I
won’t
get
to
see
my
fans
in
Indian
Wells
and
play
in
the
desert,
my
favourite
place
to
go.
I
hope
to
see
you
next
year!”
Djokovic
said
in
a
statement.
Tournament
director
Tommy
Haas
added:
“We
are
disappointed
that
Novak
will
not
be
able
to
joins
us
at
the
BNP
Paribas
Open
this
fall.
“We
hope
to
see
him
back
in
Tennis
Paradise
next
March
to
contend
for
a
record-setting
sixth
title
in
the
desert.”
Djokovic’s
defeat
against
Medvedev
in
Flushing
Meadows
ended
his
hopes
of
claiming
a
record-breaking
21st
major
title,
the
34-year-old
having
already
won
the
Australian
Open,
French
Open
and
Wimbledon
in
2021.
He
fell
short
in
his
aim
to
become
the
first
man
since
Rod
Laver
in
1969
to
win
all
four
majors
in
a
single
season
but
has
already
booked
his
place
at
this
year’s
ATP
Finals.
