Djokovic out of Mallorca Championships doubles final after Gomez-Herrera injury

Novak Djokovic will not take any further part in the Mallorca Championships doubles despite reaching the final earlier on Thursday.

Djokovic and his partner Carlos Gómez-Herrera saw off Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Oliver Marach, the number three seeds in a 6-3, 7-6 win as the World Number One looked towards a potential second doubles crown of his career and the first since 2010 at Queen's Club but this will now not happen.
