Novak Djokovic Withdraws from French Open Due to Knee Injury
ai generated text
Novak Djokovic, the top seed and defending champion at the French Open, has withdrawn from the tournament due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. The 37-year-old had been struggling with an injury throughout the competition, which he attributed to the "slippery" Roland Garros clay courts. Despite receiving a scan on Tuesday, Djokovic was not confident that he would be fit enough to play on Wednesday and has subsequently withdrawn from the tournament.
Seeing Novak retiring, it is disappointing and I wish him a speedy recovery.
Well done supervisors, ground staff, everyone, the court is not slippery at all.
The reason why I continued was because I wanted to see if an extra anti-inflammatory was going to kick in and reduce the limitations - which is what happened.
I had slight discomfort in the right knee for a couple of weeks but it was not an injury which was concerning - until today.
