Novak Djokovic, world number 1 and champion of 24 majors, took almost two hours to go to the press room after his second consecutive five-set victory at Roland Garros. After overcoming Lorenzo Musetti this Monday he overcame the resistance of Francisco Cer�ndolo.
Djokovic has left his participation in the quarterfinals this Wednesday with Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz’s executioner, up in the air by 7-6(6), 3-6, 6-4 and 6-2: “He had a knee problem and felt pain when he slipped in the second set. Let’s see if I can play. I took anti-inflammatories and they took effect at the end of the fourth set “.
The world number one justified the slip that cost him the injury because “There was almost no land due to the change in sun and heat conditions. There were areas where there was only cement“.
