In a surprising development, tennis star Novak Djokovic has undergone successful knee surgery following an injury at the French Open, raising concerns about his participation in Wimbledon and the Olympics.
Injury and Withdrawal
During his fourth-round match against Francisco Cerundolo, Djokovic suffered a knee injury. Despite continuing with painkillers, an MRI revealed a torn medial meniscus, necessitating surgery and forcing him out of the tournament.
Surgery and Recovery
Djokovic shared on Instagram that the surgery went well and expressed gratitude to his medical team and fans. He remains determined to return to the court: “I’m going to do my best to be healthy and fit to return to the court as soon as possible.”
Impact on Rankings and Future Tournaments
Due to his withdrawal, Djokovic will lose his top ranking to Jannik Sinner. With Wimbledon scheduled from July 1-14 and the Paris Olympics from July 27-August 4, his recovery timeline is critical.
Recent Challenges
This injury adds to a tough year for Djokovic, who hasn’t won a title in 2024 and faced a semi-final defeat at the Australian Open. His resilience will be tested as he aims to overcome this setback.
