There will be a new French Open champion in the men’s singles after Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to injury after playing two five-set epics in a row.

The defending champion underwent an MRI scan after his fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo and it revealed a “torn medial meniscus”, forcing him to pull out of his quarter-final.

Women’s champion Iga Swiatek remains the favourite to defend her title and make it three in a row in Paris, and will face Jasmine Paolini in Saturday’s women’s final. Swiatek had to save match point in a thriller against Naomi Osaka earlier in the tournament, but has been in supreme form since, beating Coco Gauff in the last four.
