The above information was confirmed by the Organizing Committee on the homepage: “Novak Djokovic cannot attend Madrid Open 2023. Wish you recover the injury very quickly. Hope to see him return to play as soon as possible.”
In fact, Djokovic had problems in the right elbow. At Srpska Open recently, the Serbian player revealed this. He then stopped in the quarterfinals with defeat against Dusan Lajovic.
After the battle, Djokovic shared: “I felt unwell when playing on the pitch. My feet became slow and my foot movements were not stable. I had many slides and completely disoriented.
Hopefully I will regain the highest form for France to expand. I want to play my best tennis there. ”
