'Physically Not Ready', Djokovic Pulls Out Of Next Week's Adelaide International
Former World No.1 and the world's most successful player, Novak Djokovic, has decided to pull out of next week's Adelaide International, the build-up event for the year's first Grand Slam tournament, the Australian Open. Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam titles so far, claimed he is not physically ready to compete in the Adelaide International and therefore has pulled out of the event.
"To all my fans in Adelaide, unfortunately, I'm not quite physically ready to compete in the Adelaide International next week," said Djokovic in a statement issued via social media on Monday. "It's personally very disappointing as I have such great memories of winning the title there two years ago. I was really excited about returning as it truly felt like playing at home," Djokovic further said in his statement.
