Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Cincinnati Open for what officially was listed as a “non-medical” reason. Monday's withdrawal means he will head to the U.S.

Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic won't be taking part in the Cincinnati Open, meaning that he won't have any warmup matches on hard-courts before the US Open.

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open for the second consecutive year, meaning that he will arrive at the U.S. Open in New York City having not played since Wimbledon, where he lost to Jannik Sinner in the semifinals.
