Paris: Novak Djokovic confirmed on Thursday he had had an operation on his right knee that he injured at the French Open and that it "went well".
The 24-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic was forced to withdrew ahead of his Roland Garros quarter-final against Casper Ruud after a scan revealed a torn medial meniscus in his right knee.
"In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match," he posted on social media.
"I'm still processing it all but I am happy to update you that the surgery went well.
"I am so appreciative of the team of doctors who have been by my side as well as the overwhelming support I have received from my fans."
