Djokovic's Unexpected Exit

In a surprising turn of events, tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has officially withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open, leaving fans buzzing about his lack of preparation for the upcoming U.S. Open. This decision, announced Monday, is cited as a 'non-medical' reason, which further raises eyebrows.

Long Break Before the Big Event

The 24-time Grand Slam champion hasn't stepped onto the court since his defeat at the Wimbledon semifinals on July 11, where he lost to the eventual champion, Jannik Sinner. That match marked a dramatic fall for Djokovic, especially after he experienced a painful tumble in his quarterfinals, impacting his mobility.

Coping with Injury Issues

This withdrawal adds to Djokovic's recent troubles, as he also skipped the Toronto Masters due to a groin injury. With back-to-back absences from major tournaments, questions loom about his readiness as he approaches the prestigious U.S. Open.

Aiming for Glory at Flushing Meadows

Despite the challenges, Djokovic is no stranger to triumph at the U.S. Open, having claimed victory four times, with his last win occurring just last year in 2023. The pressure is on as he prepares to dive into the singles competition starting August 24—without a single match under his belt in over a month!

What Lies Ahead?

As the tennis world watches closely, fans are left wondering: Can Djokovic overcome the odds and make a stunning comeback at the U.S. Open? With injuries and a lack of match play, only time will tell if this champion can rise to the occasion once more.
