Former champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Mutua Madrid Open, an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament that begins on Sunday.

 

The World No. 1 intends to return to competition at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome, where he is the defending champion. The event starts on 10 May.

 

Djokovic won the 2011 Madrid title, beating Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-4 in the final.

He has spent a total of 144 weeks at No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, sixth on the all-time list. He is now 26 weeks shy of John McEnroe’s mark of 170 weeks.
