Novak Djokovic has decided to end his season by skipping the last two events of the ATP calendar, the Rolex Paris Masters and the Nitto ATP Finals. The Serbian legend mentioned an injury to justify his absence in Turin, but fans and insiders criticized Nole for the way he communicated his choice.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Novak Djokovic won’t defend his ATP Finals title after ruling himself out on Tuesday due to an unspecified injury. Djokovic wrote in an Instagram story, “I was really looking forward to being there, but due to ongoing injury I won’t be playing next week. Apologies to those who were planning to see me.”
