WORLD No. 1 Novak Djokovic has pulled out of next week's Shanghai Masters due to the back injury that also stopped him from defending his China Open title.
"I am sorry not to be playing in Shanghai, one of my favorite tournaments, but I have not recovered yet from my injury," Djokovic said.
Djokovic, who won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open this season, aggravated a niggling injury in Serbia's Davis Cup tie with Argentina earlier this month. The strain he felt in his win over Nadal in the US Open final in New York became a rupture during his singles against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, Djokovic retiring in anguish and sending the South Americans through to the final.
"I did another check this week and the results are not good so I need to continue my rehabilitation," he added.
