One of the big-name players who is sure to miss the event will be Serbia’s Djokovic. The reason behind his absence from the event is not yet apparent. However, Djokovic will not be the only big-name player who will not be part of Team Europe in the ongoing campaign. Former world number one Andy Murray will also not participate in the competition. The 37-year-old has struggled with fitness concerns this season and recently announced that he will retire from professional tennis after the upcoming Paris Olympics, beginning on July 26.
