PARIS - Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters, where he is a seven-time champion, in a move which could potentially signal the end of his roller-coaster season.

"Unfortunately, I won't be playing the Paris Masters this year," the 37-year-old wrote on Instagram on Oct 23.

"I have a lot of great memories, winning seven titles and I hope to be back with you next year. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see me there."

Djokovic, who is the defending champion in Paris, has won a record 40 Masters titles in his career along with his 24 Grand Slam titles.

But his 2024 season has yielded just one title - his emotional Olympic gold medal in Paris in August and he is currently marooned on 99 career trophies.
