PARIS (AP) 鈥� Defending champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters, organizers said Wednesday.

The 37-year-old Djokovic played at the last week. Organizers did not give a reason for Djokovic's withdrawal.

The former top-ranked player said in an Instagram post he is "sorry to everyone who was hoping to see me play there.鈥�

鈥淚 have a lot of great memories winning seven titles there and hope to be back with you next year,鈥� he added.

Djokovic has won a record seven titles at the Paris indoor tournament. His decision not to play could jeopardize his chances to qualify for the year-end ATP Finals featuring the top eight players in the race.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion currently holds the sixth spot in the race. Four players 鈥� Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev 鈥� have already secured their spot at the season's final event from Nov. 10-17.

The Paris Masters starts next week.
