(Reuters) -Six-time champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from this year's Italian Open, organisers said on Tuesday, in a blow to his French Open preparations.
Djokovic, who has been chasing a 100th tour-level title, will miss the Masters 1000 event in Rome for the first time since making his first appearance in 2007.
