Novak Djokovic pulls out of ATP Cup

Tennis ace Novak Djokovic has pulled of the ATP Cup in Sydney, said the organisers on Wednesday. There has been an intese speculation whether Djokovic will travel for the mega Australia Open or not as he hasn’t shared his vaccination status yet.

“World No.1 Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the 2022 ATP Cup,” organisers said in a statement ahead of Saturday’s start to the team tournament. “Team Serbia will now be led by world No.33 Dusan Lajovic.”

Djokovic is the nine-time Australia Open champion and he could win his 21st Grand Slam title if he plays at Melbourne Park in January.

The dominant ‘Big Three’ have won 20 Grand Slam titles each and Kyrgios said tennis still needs them, starting in Melbourne next month.

“I honestly don’t know Novak’s current situation with anything Covid-related or what he needs to play,” the colourful Kyrgios told the Melbourne Age newspaper.

“I hope he’s had a good Christmas and I hope he’s able to play in the sport for as long as possible because I’ve voiced before I think Federer, Nadal and Djokovic need to be (playing).

“If all three aren’t there, it’s a disaster.”
