Novak Djokovic avoided crashing to his worst defeat at the French Open in 15 years in the early hours of Sunday morning as title rival Alexander Zverev was also pushed to the limit.Sabalenka, a semi-finalist in 2023, has made at least the last four at her past six Grand Slams and is expected to be Iga Swiatek's chief rival in the Pole's bid for a fourth French Open title.
His match was pushed back into the early hours of the morning due to the incessant rain which has seen this tournament dubbed the ‘Drench Open’.
Novak Djokovic added yet another record to his never-ending collection as he scored the latest-ever victory at Roland Garros, concluding an early-morning night session by eventually defeating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti at 3.07am.
