Novak Djokovic suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee during his quarterfinals match at the French Open this week, causing him to withdraw ahead of the semifinals.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner underwent surgery to repair the tear just days after. His 2024 season is now in question, specifically his chances playing at Wimbledon. But, Djokovic provided some positive news for his fans on Thursday morning regarding his return.
"In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match. I’m still processing it all but I am happy to update you that the surgery went well," Djokovic wrote on social media. "I am so appreciative of the team of doctors who have been by my side as well as the overwhelming support I have received from my fans. I’m going to do my best to be healthy and fit to return to the court as soon as possible. My love for this sport is strong and the desire to compete at the highest level is what keeps me going. Idemooo."
