Novak Djokovic will not go to China

Novak Djokovic, who helped his country Serbia to participate in the Davis Cup final this weekend after equaling the record of the tennis player with the most Grand Slam victories by winning the US Open, is preparing to stay away from the courts for a time.

Speaking on his social media account, the 36-year-old world number 1 stated that he needed to rest for a while and stated: “In recent years, China is among the countries from which I have received the most support in the world. Shanghai is always among my favorite tournaments during the season. Unfortunately I will not be present this year. “I hope to have the opportunity to appear before you again in the future,” he said.

The Shanghai Masters, where Djokovic has won four trophies previously, will be held from October 4 to 15. The Serbian tennis player is expected to return to the courts with the Paris Masters tournament, which will begin on October 30. (AA)
