Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic refused to play at the Masters tournament in Miami.
— Unfortunately, I will not play in Miami this year. At this point in my career, I try to maintain balance in my personal and professional schedule. I’m sad that I won’t get to meet some of the best and most passionate fans in the world. “I plan to participate in the Miami tournament in the future,” the world number one wrote on social networks.
The tournament in the USA will take place from March 20 to 31.
Earlier, Match TV reported that the Serb received an invitation from the Russian Football Union (RFU) to attend the Russia-Serbia friendly match, which will be held on March 21 in Moscow.
Djokovic holds the record for most Grand Slam singles victories (24).
