Djokovic, who won his first Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games in August, won last year's ATP Finals title by defeating twice major winner Jannik Sinner in the final.

"I was really looking forward to being there, but due to ongoing injury I won't be playing next week," Djokovic posted on his Instagram Story.

Sinner, Zverev, four-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz, former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev and American Taylor Fritz have booked their spots at the ATP Finals, which will be held from November 10-17 in Turin, Italy.
