In a recent announcement, Novak Djokovic has officially withdrawn from the upcoming Mutua Madrid Open due to an injury.
The former World No. 1 last took to the court at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells this past March, missing the Miami Open presented by Itau later that month due to a right shoulder issue. Djokovic has claimed victory at the Madrid ATP Masters 1000 three times, with his latest triumph occurring in 2019.
Novak Djokovic, tres veces campeón del #MMOPEN, no podrá participar en esta edición del torneo.
Deseamos que estés de vuelta lo antes posible y podamos disfrutar de tu tenis como tantas veces lo hemos hecho en la Caja Mágica.—•—
