Novak Djokovic passed Roger Federer for most Grand Slam match wins after his five-set victory over Francisco Cerundolo at the French Open on Monday.
Novak Djokovic was bothered by his right knee, then found himself down a set and a break, before doing what he does so well, coming back to beat No. 23 Francisco Cerundolo 6-1, 5-7, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 in the Djokovic, the defending champion at Roland Garros, broke a tie with Roger Federer for the most match wins at major tournaments — and also for the most Slam quarterfinals for a man by reaching the 59th of his career.And the No.
Against Cerundolo, a 25-year-old from Argentina who was trying to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, the 37-year-old Djokovic used all of his skills, experience and ability to adjust on the fly. He came through, in part, by playing more aggressively and putting extra speed on his groundstrokes, while dealing with whatever was going on with his knee.
The first signs of trouble came much earlier, in the second set, when Djokovic began flexing his right leg. He took a medical timeout and laid down on a towel placed on the sideline, where a trainer massaged that knee, then had Djokovic flip onto his belly to work on his hamstring.During play, Djokovic stumbled occasionally. Or limped a bit. After some lengthier points, he leaned on his racket or bent at the waist and rested with his hands on his knees or crouched.
The women’s quarterfinal matchups established Monday are No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka vs. unseeded Mirra Andreeva, a 17-year-old Russian, and No. 4 Elena Rybakina vs. No. 12 Jamine Paolini. Sabalenka won the past two Australian Opens, while Rybakina was the Wimbledon champion in 2022.
