An MRI on Tuesday revealed world No. 1 Novak Djokovic has a torn meniscus. He was set to face Casper Ruud in the French Open quarterfinals.
"Due to a torn medial meniscus in his right knee , Novak Djokovic, who was supposed to play Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals tomorrow, has been forced to withdraw from the Roland-Garros tournament” the French Open released in a statement.The three-time French Open champion has had a whirlwind of a year between injuries, coaching changes and uncharacteristic losses.
Djokovic was nearly unstoppable in 2023, winning three of four Grand Slams and falling in the final of Wimbledon. He sported an impressive 56-7 win-loss record . Comparatively, in 2024, he has a season record of 18–6 . The 37-year-old star was gunning for his 25th Grand Slam title but still holds the record for most majors on the men’s side.With Djokovic's withdrawal, No. 7 Ruud gets a walkover into the French Open semifinals.
The 2022 and 2023 French Open finalists will face the winner of No. 4 Alexander Zverev and No. 11 Alex De Minaur -- two players who have been on fire. Zverev ousted Rafael Nadal in the first round while De Minaur eliminated No. 5 Daniil Medvedev in the Round of 16.
