Djokovic pulls out in Paris as Sinner becomes the No.1

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the French Open with a knee injury, ensuring that Jannik Sinner will become the new men's world No.1 and a new Roland Garros champion will be crowned in Paris.

Djokovic aggravated a right knee problem during his five-set win over Francisco Cerundolo, which was reported less than 24 hours later on Tuesday to be a torn medial meniscus.

"I am really sad to announce that I have to withdraw from #rolandgarros," Djokovic posted on social media.
