Novak Djokovic withdrew from the upcoming ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati, giving himself no hard-court tune-ups before the U.S. Open.

The ATP officially listed Djokovic’s withdrawal from Cincinnati as “non-medical,” while he cited a groin injury for his absence from the Canadian Open that’s being completed this week in Toronto.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner from Serbia has not played since Wimbledon, where he reached the semifinals and lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner of Italy.

He will go roughly six weeks between Wimbledon and his first match in New York. The U.S. Open was the site of Djokovic’s last Grand Slam triumph in 2023.

Djokovic, 38, won the Cincinnati title in 2018, 2020 and 2023. The latter was also the last time he appeared in Ohio, as he skipped the tournament in 2021, 2022 and 2024.

The main draw of the Cincinnati Open begins Thursday.
