Former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Italian Open amid a three-match losing streak and months of struggling with his form.

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Italian Open, tournament organizers confirmed April 29. Djokovic, who has said his only goal for this clay-court season is the French Open in Paris, is now unlikely to play a competitive match before it begins in late May.

Novak Djokovic has reacted to his run of poor form by pulling out of the Italian Open in Rome next week. The 24-time grand slam champion is on a three-match losing streak, having crashed out of the Madrid Open following defeat by Matteo Arnaldi.
