Djokovic withdraws due to knee injury

Question

Novak Djokovic withdrew from the French Open with an injured right knee. Djokovic has a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. The extent of the injury was found during an MRI exam a day after Djokovic was hurt during a fourth-round victory against No. 23 Francisco Cerundolo.

Djokovic's knee had been bothering him for a couple of weeks before he arrived at Roland Garros — something he kept to himself until after the win against Cerundolo. Early in the second set Monday, Djokovic tweaked his knee and took a medical timeout. A trainer worked on the joint then and during subsequent changeovers, and Djokovic took what he said a tournament doctor told him was the maximum dose of pills allowed to dull the pain and reduce any inflammation.

I had a wager on Ruud/Djokovic over 38.5 games. Obviously it got cancelled. If Djokovic try to play tomorrow, he probably wouldn't last the entire match, so might as well.

My alternate pick is Zverev ML. He is playing very well and De Minaur run ends here. Kudos to him for going this far, but his dream ends tomorrow. Also, it is his least favorite surface and got lucky with Medvedev's injury. Otherwise, who knows if he could have beaten a healthy Medvedev

More importantly this will most likely impact him playing in the Olympics, which is sad because I was really looking forward to the joker winning the gold....one of the only things that alludes him in his illustrious career...sad
