Novak Djokovic officially withdrawn from the 2025 Cincinnati Masters, citing recovery and preparation ahead of US Open later this month. It begun to shift betting markets across sportsbooks.

Questions for the community:

Do you think Djokovic’s withdrawal is a strategic move or a red flag?

How are you adjusting your US Open bets based on this?

Who's your pick for Cincinnati now that the top seed is out?"

AI?

@jvarghese

 what do you mean by AI? Just some questions I shared

Djoker only cares about playing in slams. He’s been a part time player for a few years now.

And what do u mean number one withdraw? Sinner and Alcaraz are clearly way ahead of Djoker and there’s about 5 other guys I would play as favs against Djoker. 

Djokovic has two small children, a sweet wife. 240 million USD+ to his name - has won more Grand Slams than anyone before him, he has homes in 5 different countries - of course he doesn’t care about a shitty tournament in Cincinnati - to be honest I don’t understand why he even bother playing anymore 

Looking on how hard it is for you guys to even control the air condition - it looks like hell on earth to play tennis in those conditions - and no professional athlete should be ok with those conditions 

@AverageAllstar

 True, he’s been selective with events, but writing him off is risky. Djoker has a habit of showing up big when it matters.

 Solid points when you are that rich, you can retire haha.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Of course he does up. Yes,  he shows up to grand slams. He's one of the best to ever do it.

But going back to you're subject line. It's confusing when you say "the top player is out." He is not the current top player. That would be Sinner and Alcaraz. 

These players need to start getting some A/C fans.
