The problems of the world number one in men’s tennis turned out to be more serious than thought.
Novak Djokovic will skip the next Grand Slam tournament, Wimbledon. This was reported by L’Equipe.
The world ranking leader had to go under the surgeon’s knife after being withdrawn from the French Open tennis championship.
It is reported that the intervention took place on Wednesday morning in Paris, where the Serbian meniscus was operated on.
According to journalists, the tennis player will be able to resume training no earlier than three weeks. So, Djokovic will definitely miss Wimbledon, where he reached the final last year. In addition, the participation of the Serbs in the Olympic Games in August remains in question.
We remind you that Djokovic withdrew from Roland Garros before the quarterfinals, where he was supposed to play against the Norwegian Casper Ruud.
Due to the injury, the Serbian will also lose his status as world number one. For the first time in his career, the Italian Jannik Sinner will be the leader.
