It's the headline news of the day at Roland-Garros: with a right knee injury, Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the rest of the tournament. As well as handing his place as world number 1 to the Italian, this news casts doubt on the Serb's participation in Wimbledon and the Olympic Games.

In a short message posted on Instagram, Djokovic expressed his views on this difficult choice: "I'm really sad to announce that I have to withdraw from Roland Garros. I played with my heart and gave everything in yesterday's match, and unfortunately, due to a torn internal meniscus in my right knee, my team and I had to make a difficult decision.

I wish the best of luck to the players competing this week, and I sincerely thank my incredible fans for their continued love and support. See you all soon. With love and gratitude, Nole."

Idemo, you cannot expect a hater to understand what fans are. That's unknown to him.

Too bad for The GOAT, this might be the farewell. :(
Then again, he will still remain The Greatest, if not forever, then for a long, long time.👏👏👏

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
