The Serbian has communicated a little while ago to the ATP and the direction of the tournament that will not participate in the Masters 1000 of the capital
Recent history: Rome 2022, Djokovic celebrates 1000 ATP victories by earning yet another final to the international. And then he confesses: “If I had to choose a place, out of Serbia, where I reach a similar goal, I would have liked to do it here”. The Serbian loves the circles that close and the round figures, but this time his roads do not lead to Rome: his retreat from the Masters 1000 of our house is official. For the first time since 2007 Nole will not embark on your luggage towards the capital.
Djokovic jumps Rome
–
Too complicated, the moment of the Serbian. That at the Foro Italico he celebrated for the 1000 ATP victories (exceeding Ruud in the semifinal, three years ago, before taking the title, the sixth, against Tsitsipas) and would have gladly rekindled the hunt for the much desired 100th title in the major circuit. The round figure, in fact. But also a cannibal like Djokovic has sensed that a strategic retreat was better, given the terrifying April that characterized it: only two games played, both concluded without even winning a set. He came from the defeat of Miami with whom he had closed the season on the concrete: a burning knockout against Mensik, in the final, just when the finish line with 100 candles to turn off seemed very close. But on earth it went as worse could not: ready-via, immediately outside Montecarlo against the black beast Tabilo. The same opponent who had made him out in Rome last year. Then, in Madrid, the lesson collected by Arnaldi. Also here at the debut.
the last icing

In the best thrillers it is said that three clues make a test: two were enough for Nole to temporarily resolve the case. And decide to raise, for now, white flag. Rome will therefore remain an orphan of the Djoker who won 6 times in our house reaching 12 times at the last act. A retreat scheduled for the Serbian champion who since last August, when he hit the title number 99 to the Olympics, is trying to take off the last icing of a monstrous career. Now Nole has almost a month to prepare the Roland Garros in the best way to which it will come, incredibly, with zero wins on red.
