Now it appears that nobody other than Djokovic actually knows if he will enter next week's Turin Tour Finals.

Per Jim Courier and others, Djokovic is off vacationing on an island but hasn't either made a decision or bothered to tell the ATP what his decision is.

I guess the world 9th ranked player has to just wait for Novak to let him know whether he's in the draw or an alternate. Amazing behavior.

Djokovic today withdrew from the Turin ATP Tour Final with "an unspecified injury" per Washington Post.

"Joining Sinner in Turin will be Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev."

"Not since 2001 has the tournament been held without at least one of Djokovic, Federer or Nadal. This season also was the first since 2002 without at least one Grand Slam title for a member of that trio."
