MADRID (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic has not managed to shake off an arm injury and has been forced to pull out of this week's Madrid Open Masters event, the Serbian world number two said on Sunday.

Djokovic, who was hampered by the injury, thought to be his right wrist, at last month's Monte Carlo Masters where he lost to Roger Federer in the semi-finals, said he hoped to be back for the Rome Masters starting next Sunday.
