French Open: Injured Djokovic Withdraws From Quarters; Sinner Set To Become New No.1
The French Open: The French Open will have a new men's singles champion on Sunday as Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from his quarterfinal match. As a result, men's tennis will also see a new No.1 in Jannik Sinner of Italy. A day after winning a marathon five-set thriller, defending champion Djokovic has pulled out of Roland-Garros, citing a right knee injury, giving a walkover in his quarterfinal match.
Djokovic's withdrawal means Casper Ruud moves into the semifinals and will play either Alexander Zverev of Germany or Alex De Minaur of Australia in the last four on Friday.
The Serbian world No.1 had said on Monday after his five-set win over Francisco Cerundolo that he had been managing the problem in the run-up to Paris, and the injury became more severe during his fourth-round victory over the Argentine. “I don't know what will happen tomorrow or after tomorrow if I'll be able to step out on the court and play," Djokovic said on Monday night. "You know, I hope so. Let's see what happens.”
