Novak Djokovic pulls out of China Open over elbow injury.

Novak Djokovic yesterday announced his withdrawal from the China Open because of an elbow injury.

The defending champion said he is "extremely disappointed" to miss the tournament in Beijing, where he has won four consecutive titles and has 29 victories in a row. The 29-year-old said he "will continue with my rehabilitation and hope to be able to return to the ATP Tour as soon as possible". Djokovic is next scheduled to play at the Shanghai Masters from October 10. Women's world No. 2 Serena Williams also withdrew from the China Open due to a persistent shoulder injury.
