WATCH: The moment when Taylor Fritz knew something was wrong.

Taylor Fritz has announced that the knee injury he incurred during a second-round exit at Roland Garros will require surgery.

The 23-year-old tore his meniscus, but said it will only be a minor procedure, and that he could be back in three weeks to play Wimbledon.

"On match point when I came down from hitting a forehand, I heard a pop in my knee," said Fritz on social media, adding that he "couldn’t move and could barely limp myself to the net to shake hands" following the injury.

Fritz is currently No. 33 in the rankings and the highest-ranked American.
