Novak Djokovic said on Tuesday he will not defend his ATP Finals title due to an “ongoing injury” which has ended the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s season. 


Tennis icon Djokovic was one of four players still battling for one of three remaining places at the season-ending event in Turin, which kicks off on Sunday, but said on social media that he wouldn’t be making a bid for a third straight Finals title. “I was really looking forward to being there, but due to ongoing injury I won’t be playing next week,” Djokovic said. “Apologies to those who were planning to see me. Wishing all the players a great tournament. See you soon!”
