Novak Djokovic undergoes successful knee surgery after French Open withdrawal, uncertain for Wimbledon return
Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, confirmed on Thursday that he had successful surgery on his knee after his shocking withdrawal from the French Open this week. The Serbian tennis player suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during the fourth round of the tournament, forcing him to pull out.
The defending champion at Roland Garros underwent surgery in Paris and provided fans with a positive update the following day. Djokovic expressed his determination to return to the court as soon as possible, stating, “My love for this sport is strong and the desire to compete at the highest level is what keeps me going.”
However, Djokovic did not specify a timeline for his recovery or potential return to the court, leaving his participation in Wimbledon next month uncertain. The injury also raises questions about his availability for the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where Djokovic previously won a bronze medal in 2008.
With Djokovic and Rafael Nadal both out of the French Open, a new champion will be crowned for the first time since 2015. Tennis fans will have to wait and see how Djokovic’s recovery progresses and whether he will be able to compete in future tournaments. Stay tuned for updates on his condition and potential comeback.
