After his new marathon match against Cerundolo, Novak Djokovic had an MRI this Tuesday to find out more about the condition of his right knee. His withdrawal from the rest of Roland-Garros was announced immediately, because the Serbian suffered from a meniscus injury.
News from Novak Djokovic. And they are not necessarily reassuring. After his new extended match against Francisco Cerundolo at Roland Garros, the Serb complained about his right knee. The world No. 1 has been suffering from an injury there for a few weeks, and he was hurt again against the Argentinian in the second set.
This Tuesday, Djokovic underwent an MRI according to Serbian media, around 3 p.m., to find out more about the condition of his joint. In the meantime, his training for the day, which was scheduled, was canceled. And the news finally broke shortly before 5 p.m. Victim of a meniscus injury, the Serb withdrew from the rest of the tournament.
Djokovic will lose his No. 1 place
His package directly propels Casper Ruud into the semi-finals, where the Norwegian will face Alexander Zverev or Alex De Minaur. He also does the business of Jannik Sinner, who will become world No. 1 for the first time at the end of the tournament.
But the most annoying thing is that this meniscus injury does not bode well for Djokovic for the rest of his summer. There is Wimbledon and the Olympic Games, and the US Open on a slightly more distant horizon. What a hard blow for the Serb!
