Starting next week, Novak will lose his status as world number one – the ATP ranking will be headed by the Italian Sinner
The first racket of the world Novak Djokovic was forced to withdraw from Roland Garros 2024 due to a right knee injury.
At this tournament, the Serb managed to reach the quarterfinals, where tomorrow, June 5, he was supposed to fight with the Norwegian Casper Ruud.
Let us remember that yesterday Djokovic played a grueling match with an incredible plot against Argentinean Francisco Serundolo – the tennis players spent just over four and a half hours on the court.
As a result, Novak celebrated a strong-willed victory (3:2), which allowed him to set a new world record for the number of matches won at Grand Slam tournaments (370). The Serbian tennis player is ahead of Roger Federer in this indicator.
Djokovic’s early departure from the French Open means that now he will definitely, for the first time in a long time, lose the title of first racket of the world. Starting next week, the world ranking will be headed by Jannik Sinner from Italy.
