World No. 1 Novak Djokovic pulled out of the BNP Paribas Masters on Friday morning due to a right shoulder injury. It means France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the 2008 champion, gets a walkover into the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in Paris.

"I am very sorry for the tournament and the fans in Paris but my right shoulder is hurting again after winning my first two matches here," said Djokovic, who won the 2009 title. 

"The doctors have advised that I should rest my shoulder and start treatment as soon as possible.  I look forward to returning to the court in London and competing at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals."

Djokovic has a 69-4 match record on the season and a 10-1 record in title matches, including three Grand Slam championships and five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophies.

He will lead the elite field at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, which begins at The O2 on 20 November.
