In an electrifying Roland Garros quarterfinal, Novak Djokovic powered past third seed Alexander Zverev with scores of 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, storming his way into his 51st Grand Slam semifinal appearance. The three-time champion is now on course in his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title 🎾.
At 38, Djokovic has refined his game over the years, now holding a 9-5 edge in his head-to-head against Zverev. Reflecting on his performance, he noted, "I think the very last game was tactical," as he adjusted his rhythm and tossed in several drop shots, even while battling challenging windy conditions.
Fresh off claiming his 100th tour-level title in Geneva and riding a nine-match winning streak (including 19 consecutive wins at majors), Djokovic now sets his sights on a high-stakes semifinal encounter with top seed Jannik Sinner. Sinner, who made history by becoming the first Italian man to reach six major semifinals after a commanding win over Alexander Bublik (6-1, 7-5, 6-0), promises to deliver a riveting challenge.
This clash between seasoned brilliance and emerging firepower is one you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for more thrilling moments as these tennis titans battle it out on one of the sport’s grandest stages!
