Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters, both he and tournament organizers said on Wednesday.

Serbian Djokovic, 37, the reigning champion in Paris who has won a record 24 Grand Slam crowns and 40 Masters titles, did not reveal the reason for his withdrawal.

“Unfortunately, I won’t be playing the Paris Masters this year,” world number four Djokovic said in a statement on Instagram.

“I have a lot of great memories winning seven titles there and hope to be back with you next year.”

The Paris indoor tournament runs from Oct. 28–Nov. 3.
