NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic withdrew from the French Open on Tuesday, just before his scheduled quarter-final match against Casper Ruud. The decision came after the Serbian star sustained a knee injury during his previous match in Paris.
Djokovic's unexpected exit from the tournament was announced shortly before he was set to take the court against his Norwegian opponent. The severity of the injury, which occurred in the round prior to the quarter-finals, ultimately forced the former world No. 1 to pull out of the competition.
