Djokovic Avoids First Slam Exit Since 2017 with Victory in Last Two Sets
Novak Djokovic avoided his first Slam exit since 2017 by securing a victory against Lorenzo Musetti at Roland Garros after a marathon match lasting almost four and a half hours. The match concluded at 3:00 am local time in Paris. Djokovic, who seemed on the brink of elimination at the end of the third set after missing a volley, managed to bounce back and convincingly win the fourth and fifth sets.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who entered the tournament without any titles in the season, was seriously tested by Musetti. This win brought Djokovic’s total to equal Roger Federer for the most Grand Slam match wins (369), with Rafael Nadal at 314. To maintain his number 1 ranking, Djokovic must reach the final of the French Open.
In conclusion, Djokovic displayed his resilience and determination to avoid a premature exit from the tournament, showcasing why he is considered one of the greatest players in tennis history. His victory against Musetti was a testament to his skill and mental fortitude, solidifying his position at the top of the sport.
