Dear All,
I am very sad to announce that I will not participate in China Open in Beijing next week.
Because of my back injury, which is very particular, and restrains me from rotating my upper body in serve motion, I am not able to compete on the professional level. I am resting and doing a lot of therapies and trying to recover so I can be able to play remaining tournaments in this season. I have tried to hit couple of balls to test my body, but unfortunately, I still feel pain and therefore I cannot risk playing China Open next week.
I apologise to all my fans and tennis lovers who bought tickets hoping to see me play. I am sad that I will not go to Beijing, I love that tournament and people who are so generous and kind to all my team. Special greetings to my fans who always wait to meet me in front of hotel after matches and always have special surprises for all my team. I will give my best to recover soon.
Lots of love,
Novak
