MONACO — Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Monte Carlo Masters after skipping the Miami Open with a right shoulder injury.
“We send him our best wishes and hope to see him back on court very soon,” the clay-court tournament wrote Friday in announcing Djokovic’s withdrawal in an Instagram story.
The post didn’t specify Djokovic’s reason for pulling out, but the 24-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played since losing in three sets to Jack Draper in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open two weeks ago.
A year ago at Monte Carlo, Djokovic lost in the second round to Alejandro Tabilo.
Djokovic, 38, ranked No. 3, has not commented on his social media channels about the withdrawal.
