New York City, US, Aug 4 (EFE).- Novak Djokovic will not play in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati, which begins on Thursday, the organizers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cincinnati Open, the final warm-up tournament before the US Open, said Monday that the three-time champion has withdrawn from this year’s event, citing a non-medial reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 38-year-old Serbian tennis player, ranked number 6, has not competed since losing in the Wimbledon semifinals to world number one Jannik Sinner of Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam winner, will participate in the US Open, which begins on Aug. 24 in New York, according to the schedule on his website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is also scheduled to play with compatriot Olga Danilovic in the mixed doubles at Flushing Meadows, which, as a new development, will be played the week before the start of the main draw. EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
