The best Serbian tennis player was injured during the match against Francisco Cerundolo, whom he defeated in five sets, but then had to withdraw from the tournament due to a partial meniscus tear.

His message via social networks is that he had a difficult decision to make and that he is immensely grateful to the doctors.

"In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match. 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," Novak wrote.
