Djokovic Withdraws from French Open Due to Injury
Consequences for the Tournament
Novak Djokovic's withdrawal from the French Open has sent shockwaves through the tournament. The Serbian superstar, who was seeded first, was considered one of the favorites to win the title. His absence opens up the draw and could lead to some unexpected results.
Djokovic's Injury
Djokovic has been struggling with a right knee injury since the beginning of the tournament. He played through the pain in his first two matches, but the injury worsened in his third-round match against Francisco Cerundolo. After losing the first set, Djokovic decided to withdraw from the match and the tournament.
Historical Implications
Djokovic's withdrawal also has historical implications. If Rafael Nadal wins the tournament, he will tie Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam titles. It would also be Nadal's 14th French Open title, further cementing his status as the "King of Clay."
