“I was really looking forward to being there (Turin), but due to ongoing injury, I won’t be playing next week,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
“Apologies to those who were planning to see me. Wishing all the players a great tournament. See you soon!” he added.

SERBIAN SUPERSTAR ENDS 2024 IN WHIMPER AFTER PARIS GOLD MEDAL

Moreover, Djokovic finished with a 37-9 win-loss record, and his Paris gold is listed as his 99th tour-level title.
However, he failed to win any majors this year, staying at 24 Grand Slams in his career.
