However, Roland Garros is already hailing Sinner as the number one, and it has irked a flurry of Djokovic fans on social media. Djokovic pulled off some phenomenal comebacks against the likes of Lorenzo Musetti and Francisco Cerundolo as he secured a place in the quarterfinal rounds of the French Open. However, during his fourth-round match, the Serbian tennis star recently picked up a knee injury, which has now forced him to pull out of the tournament. Due to the same reason, the current number-one player will now be dethroned by his Italian colleague, Sinner, who has reached the semifinals.

The post stated, “FIRST WIN AS WORLD NO.1 ✨ #RolandGarros #S1NNER” As the rankings will change on Monday, Djokovic fans were quick to lash out at the page for already hailing him as the new number 1 player on the tour. As the Italian tennis sensation is still the number 2 player on the tour, a user flocked to the comments section to remind them of the same by labeling it a ‘wrong’ post. Wrong! Novak is world number 1. Jannik is number 2, number 1 on Monday — Puneet (@TennisPuneet) June 5, 2024 Expand Tweet   While calling it a ‘pathetic post,’ a fan blamed the French Open authorities for not removing the moving powder on their clay courts. The user suggested that the official’s refusal led to the Serbian player’s injury as he slipped on the Parisian clay. Wrong. Pathetic post. He will be #1 on monday, not now. You, @rolandgarros organizers, mainly Amélie Mauresmo, you are responsibles for Novak’s injure. He asked you many times to remove the moving powder on the surface. But you refused it knowing he would be damaged.

This is so embarrassing 🤯 Rankings don’t change until Monday. This isn’t his first win as No.1 Show some respect. 🤮 — Neno (@Neno___None) June 4, 2024 Expand Tweet Another fan labeled the “scheduling and poor court treatment” at the French Open as the reason behind the Serb’s injury withdrawal. He’s only no.1 on Monday. But he finds out today thanks to your scheduling and poor court treatment — Pokey Baraka (@Radukinaa) June 4, 2024 Expand Tweet   ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad Similarly, another fan asked Roland Garros to wait until Monday, when Jannik will attain his new number-one ranking on the ATP circuit.
