On October 22, the 38-year-old Djokovic announced through social media that he would withdraw from this year’s ATP1000 Paris Masters. He has won the men’s singles championship 7 times in the past. In the previous third-place match of the Six-King Grand Slam, Djokovic only played one set before withdrawing due to physical reasons.

Djokovic issued a statement on his retirement via social media: "Dear Paris, I regret that I will not be able to participate in the Paris Masters this year. I have left countless wonderful memories here over the years and achieved brilliant results, especially the precious moment of winning the title seven times. I look forward to meeting again next year. Merci (French: Thank you)"

In the previous third-place match of the Saudi Six Kings Grand Slam exhibition, Djokovic fought fiercely for 80 minutes in the first set, but unfortunately lost the first set 6-7 (4). Then Djokovic withdrew due to physical reasons, which also caused a lot of controversy. After all, it was just an exhibition match. Djokovic also solemnly apologized after the game and bowed to the audience.
