"Djokovic has withdrawn from Roland-Garros due to a right knee injury," the official Roland-Garros X account wrote. "Wishing Novak a speedy recovery."
Djokovic was set to play Casper Ruud in the French Open quarterfinal in a rematch of last year’s championship.
The Serbian tennis star put together back-to-back five-set victories in the tournament before the injury was discovered. He topped Francisco Cerundolo and Lorenzo Musetti in his last two matches. The match against Musetti drew ire from fellow tennis stars.

Djokovic and Musetti battled to 3:07 a.m. local time at Roland-Garros. Both competitors were completely drained after the match. U.S. tennis star Coco Gauff came to Djokovic’s defense over the length of the match.
"I feel like a lot of times people think you’re done, but really at 3 a.m. [you’re] probably not going to bed until 5 a.m. at the earliest, maybe 6 a.m. or 7 a.m.," Gauff said, via Yahoo Sports.
"I definitely think it’s not healthy," Gauff continued.
Whether that was the initial cause of the meniscus tear is unclear.
