Novak Djokovic has confirmed that his knee surgery went well and he says he will return to competition “as soon as possible” after undergoing the medical procedure shortly after his withdrawal from the French Open due to a torn medial meniscus.

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