Novak Djokovic Withdraws From French Open Due to Knee Injury

‘I played with my heart and gave my all,’ Novak wrote in his public statement, announcing his withdrawal from the Roland Games.

“I played with my heart and gave my all in yesterday’s match and unfortunately, due to a medial meniscus tear in my right knee, my team and I had to make a tough decision after careful consideration and consultation.” Novak added that he wishes “the best of luck to the players competing this week and sincerely thank the incredible fans for all of the love and continued support.” To make matters worse, Novak revealed that the significant amount of rain in Paris caused him to slip “way too many times,” likely aggravating the injury.
