Without a doubt, Novak Djokovic is still rejoicing after his eventual Olympic gold medal victory at Roland-Garros. In tennis, the Serbian has now won every major title. Djokovic’s withdrawal from the National Bank Open following his victory in Paris was expected. Some supporters, meanwhile, had high hopes for him to compete in the Cincinnati Open the following week. Regretfully, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has decided not to participate in the event for the Ohio fans.
Novak Djokovic Withdraws From Cincinnati Open.
Djokovic’s withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open was announced on social media this year. The circumstances were not described in great depth. The man who has won the title three times, including last year, will be missed, according to the event. It is evident that the 37-year-old believes he needs a longer vacation following the enormous success of winning his first gold medal. This year, Djokovic has also been open about his primary objectives, which are the Olympics and Grand Slams.
The fact that there is no longer a chance to witness the thrilling finale between Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz from last year will upset fans. The Spaniard lost against Djokovic 5-7 7-6 7-6 following one of the best three-set contests in tennis history. Both guys made amazing shots in the intense Cincinnati heat, and the memories of those who witnessed them will last for a very long time.
Djokovic has been replaced in the draw by Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The big-serving 21-year-old has had a breakout season, winning the championship in Lyon and reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon. His style gives him a tough draw for any opponent. He might make a deep run at the Cincinnati Open if his strong game finds its stride.
