What next for Djokovic after Paris withdrawal?
Image caption, Novak Djokovic has played just 12 tournaments this season - but only trails Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the ATP raceNovak Djokovic pulling out of the upcoming Paris Masters without giving an explicit reason provides more uncertainty about his plans for the rest of the season.
The 38-year-old Serb was hampered by injury in his most recent ATP tournament, the Shanghai Masters, where he lost to qualifier Valentin Vacherot in the semi-finals.
Djokovic also had to retire from his match against Taylor Fritz at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia last week.
