March 15 : Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the upcoming Miami Open due to a right shoulder injury, tournament organisers said on Sunday.

The 38-year-old competed at Indian Wells last week, where defending champion Jack Draper rallied from a set down to beat the Serb on Wednesday. Djokovic also played doubles alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas in the California desert before exiting in the second round.

The 24-times Grand Slam champion has won the Miami Open six times, making him the most successful men's player in the tournament's history. He will now miss the chance to chase a record-breaking seventh crown, having reached the final last year before losing to Czech player Jakub Mensik.

The Miami Open begins on Wednesday, with qualifying beginning on Monday.
