Novak Djokovic’s Quest For A Record 25th Grand Slam Hampered By Knee Injury.
In a significant blow to reigning Tennis champion, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the French Open ahead of his scheduled quarter-final match due to a knee injury.
The top seed and defending champion was set to face Norwegian seventh seed Casper Ruud on Wednesday. With Djokovic’s withdrawal, Ruud will automatically advance to the semi-finals.
Djokovic’s departure from the tournament abruptly ends his quest for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. Additionally, this setback will result in him losing his world No. 1 ranking to Italian player Jannik Sinner later this month.
Fans and fellow players have expressed their well-wishes for Djokovic’s speedy recovery. His absence will undoubtedly be felt, but the tennis world eagerly awaits his return to full health and competition.
Get well soon, champ.
