I am sorry I won’t get to see my fans in Indian Wells and play in the desert, my favourite place to go. I hope to see you next year! @BNPPARIBASOPEN
Novak Djokovic won't be attending the 2021 Indian Wells after all as he announced on his official Twitter that he won't be taking part.
Novak Djokovic was widely expected not to play at the Indian Wells and that is now true. The news was announced on his official Twitter page where he released a short statement saying he was sorry not to play in his favourite place. The news isn't shocking in many ways except that Djokovic confirmed his appearance at the event not long ago.
That news was shared by the social media pages of the event wherein they confirmed that the world number one is coming to Indian Wells. That news was a surprise to many who expected him not to play. Rumblings in his native Serbian started circulating that Djokovic decided against participation at the very last moment and now he confirmed it. He wrote:
"I am sorry I won't get to see my fans in Indian Wells and play in the desert, my favourite place to go. I hope to see you next year!"
Tournament director Tommy Haas released a statement on behalf of the event saying:
“We are disappointed that Novak will not be able to join us at the BNP Paribas Open this fall. We hope to see him back in Tennis Paradise next March to contend for a record-setting sixth title in the desert."
