Yesterday, an MRI scan revealed a torn meniscus in his right knee, forcing Djokovic out of his quarterfinal against Casper Ruud at Roland-Garros.
Djokovic has injured his knee for the past few weeks, and aggravated the injury during his five-set victory over Francisco Cerundolo on Monday in Paris.
Djokovic will be operated on in a Paris clinic by a young French surgeon. The recovery time is reported to be three weeks, which means that Djokovic’s participation in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games is still possible.
