The Italian Open in Rome will not host Novak Djokovic, a record 24-time Grand Slam champion, from May 7 to May 18 according to tournament organizers.
Novak Djokovic has stated that he won’t participate in #IBI25. Nole, the clay court tournament’s organizers, announced on social media that “see you next year.”
The organizers did not explain why Djokovic, 37, withdrawn.
After pulling out of the Masters competition in the Italian capital, where he has won six times, most recently in 2022, the Serb is still waiting for his 100th ATP title.
After enduring a turbulent start to the year 2025, Djokovic is yet to win a trophy this year.
His most recent gold was won at the Paris Olympics last year, where the following Grand Slam will take place in May/June, at Roland Garros.
Before suffering early exits on the clay in Monte Carlo and Madrid, Djokovic lost to Czech teenager Jakub Mensik in the Miami Open final last month.
After losing to Matteo Arnaldi in his first match of the Monte Carlo Masters, Alejandro Tabilo, who had earlier lost to him in his opener, lost to him in the Madrid Open.
