Six-time champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from this year's Italian Open, in a blow to his French Open preparations.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.

Novak Djokovic withdraws from the Italian Open in the midst of a three-match losing streak, casting doubt on his participation in next month's French Open.

The 2025 French Open will be played at the Roland-Garros Stadium in Paris. Most of the top-100 men's and women's tennis players are invited to play in the 2025 French Open, including world #1 men's player Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff, the fourth-ranked women's player.
