Djokovic Withdraws From Toronto

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers due to fatigue, tournament organisers announced on Sunday.

“I have always enjoyed my time in Canada but after speaking with my team, we believe this is the right decision to take,” Djokovic said in a press release. “I would like to thank Karl Hale, the Tournament Director, for understanding this decision. I really hope I can return to Canada and Toronto in the coming years to play in front of great fans there.”

The Serbian has won Canada’s ATP Masters 1000 event four times, tallying a 37-7 record. The last time he competed in the tournament was in 2018.

Djokovic last competed at Wimbledon, where he fell short in a memorable championship match against Carlos Alcaraz. The 36-year-old is 33-5 in 2023 and has won titles at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Adelaide.
