Djokovic says knee operation 'went well', no return date set

PARIS, June 6 (AFP): Novak Djokovic confirmed on Thursday he had undergone an operation on his right knee that he injured at the French Open and that it "went well", but gave no timeframe for his return.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic was forced to withdraw 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."
The 37-year-old made no mention of whether he would be fit to take part at Wimbledon which begins on July 1 but added that he was going to "do my best to be healthy and fit to return to the court as soon as possible".
"My love for this sport is strong and the desire to compete at the highest level is what keeps me going," he added.
