For 18 months Novak Djokovic played through a right elbow injury until the pain forced him out of his quarterfinal match at Wimbledon two weeks ago. Now, because of the injury, Djokovic will miss a Grand Slam tournament for the first time since he began competing in them in 2005.
Djokovic, the winner of 12 major tournaments, announced Wednesday at a news conference in Belgrade, Serbia, that he will skip the United States Open and the rest of the 2017 season to rest his sore elbow.
“All the doctors I’ve consulted, and all the specialists I have visited in Serbia and all over the world, have agreed that this injury requires rest,” Djokovic said. “A prolonged break from the sport is inevitable. I’ll do whatever it takes to recover.”
Djokovic has been hindered by a bruised bone in his elbow from excessive playing, one of his physicians, Zdenko Milinkovic, said in an interview in Serbia on Tuesday. Djokovic, 30, said at Wimbledon that the elbow had bothered him to varying degrees over the past year and a half, which may be the simplest explanation for his slide from the dominant perch he previously occupied in men’s tennis.
