Novak Djokovic’s latest quest for a record 25th Grand Slam was ended by Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca after a five-set fight in the third round of the French Open yesterday.
The three-time champion at Roland Garros lost 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 as temperatures again reached 33 degrees C (91 F). It was just the second time Djokovic has lost from two sets up, the other also coming in Paris in 2010.
The 39-year-old Djokovic looked exhausted in the fifth set but soldiered on.
