The world’s top-ranked men’s tennis player, Novak Djokovic, pulled out of next weekend’s Western & Southern Open Monday, writing on social media that he needs “a bit longer to recover and recuperate after quite a taxing journey from Australia to Tokyo.”

Djokovic won the Australian Open in February, the French Open in June and Wimbledon in July, and will be trying for a calendar-year Grand Slam at the U.S. Open, which begins August 30.

Djokovic went to the Tokyo Olympics, playing for his home country of Serbia, but lost in the semifinals and then also lost in the bronze medal match.
