NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic, the world number one tennis player, revealed on Thursday that he has undergone knee surgery. This follows his withdrawal from the French Open due to an injury sustained during his fourth-round victory over Francisco Cerundolo. The injury not only ended Djokovic's bid for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title but also casts doubt on his participation in Wimbledon and the Olympics. As a result, he will lose his top ranking to Italy's Jannik Sinner on Monday.
The French Open announced that MRI results showed Djokovic had suffered a torn medial meniscus, prompting his decision to undergo surgery. "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 shared in an Instagram post.
