Novak Djokovic withdraws from the Cincinnati Open and will head to the US Open without preparation
August 4, 2025
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. Open without having played a match in about 1 1/2 months. The 24-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t competed since losing in the Wimbledon semifinals to eventual champion Jannik Sinner on July 11. That straight-set defeat against Sinner at the All England Club came two days after the 38-year-old took what he described as a “nasty” and “awkward” fall in the last game of his quarterfinal victory.
