Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from next week's Paris Masters, potentially ending his 2024 season.
The 37-year-old, who is the defending champion in Paris, has won a record 40 Masters titles in his career along with his 24 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic is still in contention to qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin next month, but is currently sixth in the race for the eight-man field event with a number of players still able to overtake him.
"Unfortunately I won't be playing the Paris Masters this year," Djokovic posted on social media.
"I have a lot of great memories, winning seven titles and I hope to be back with you next year. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see me there."
For the first time since 2017, Djokovic will end the season without a Grand Slam title after victories for Italy's Jannik Sinner and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the four majors.
However, Djokovic did win his first Olympic gold medal in Paris in August.
