PARIS: Novak Djokovic's right knee went under the knife to repair a torn medial meniscus in Paris, early on Wednesday. The 37-year-old, presumably in a race to get fit for the Paris Olympics Games to be played at Roland Garros in July-August, went ahead with the procedure a day after he pulled out of the French Open.
The torn meniscus, picked up by a MRI scan the day after Djokovic beat Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round, forced Djokovic to pull out of Roland Garros, where he was scheduled to play Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
