INCREDIBLE DJOKER

-

IN THEIR 58TH career clash, Djokovic triumphed 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 against 13-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal and stayed on course to capture a 19th major and become the first man in over 50 years to win all four Slams twice. It is Nadal’s third defeat in 16 years and 108 matches at Roland Garros. Will the Djoker make good? However, the real find of the tournament has been the Italian teenager, Lorenzo Musetti, who took two sets off the world no. 1 in the pre-quarters before forfeiting on a whim.
