Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the French Open on Tuesday ahead of his quarterfinals matchup against Casper Ruud.
Djokovic is dealing with a right knee injury, something he was dealing with before his five-set thriller match on Monday. At one point during the match, he complained to the umpire about the grounds crew not sweeping the clay often enough since it was aggravating his knee.
The 37-year-old defeated No. 23 Francisco Cerúndolo, 6–1, 5–7, 3–6, 7–5, 6–3, in a match that lasted four hours and 39 minutes. This win came after Djokovic played a five-set match in the third round vs. Lorenzo Musetti just two days prior.
