PARIS — Novak Djokovic's French Open title defense — and his hold on the No.
Novak Djokovic, who hasn’t reached a final this season, makes it to the fourth round at Roland Garros.
Djokovic briefly looked as if he might be unable to recover against Musetti but instead ran away with the final two sets and now will continue his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title and fourth at Roland Garros. Djokovic said he found the damp and cold conditions, and heavy clay, hard to deal with, especially “when you’re playing 20-plus-shot rallies at 2 a.m.; who plays at 2 a.m., you know?”
Not only hasn’t he earned a trophy at any tournament this season, but he hasn’t even reached a final. The bundled-up spectators frequently chanted Djokovic’s first name, or his two-syllable nickname, “No-le.” Musetti heard plenty of support in Court Philippe Chatrier, too. The sound reverberated off the underside of the retractable roof, which was closed because of showers that arrived earlier Saturday, the fifth day in a row with showers.
