The Cincinnati Open confirmed Monday that three-time champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the 2025 event. The Serbian, who has not competed since his semi-final run at Wimbledon, pulled out citing a non-medical reason.

The 38-year-old owns a 45-12 tournament record at the ATP Masters 1000, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. In his most recent appearance at the event, he saved a championship point to beat Carlos Alcaraz 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4) in an instant-classic 2023 final.

The No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings is 26-9 this season, a year in which he won his 100th tour-level title in Geneva in May. He has played just two events since that triumph, reaching the semi-finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon but losing to Jannik Sinner at both majors.

Djokovic is next scheduled to play at the US Open, where main-draw action begins Aug. 24.
