Djokovic Overcomes Musetti in Five-Set Thriller at French Open
Epic Comeback Sets Up Wimbledon Rematch with Alcaraz
Novak Djokovic's incredible five-set comeback to defeat Lorenzo Musetti on Saturday night captivated the tennis world, setting up a mouthwatering Wimbledon rematch with Carlos Alcaraz.
In a marathon match that lasted over three hours, the 24-time major champion outlasted the 25th-seeded Italian 7-5 in the deciding set. Musetti battled hard but was unable to match his opponent's resilience in the key moments on Centre Court.
Despite reportedly nursing a knee injury, Djokovic displayed no signs of discomfort as he sprinted to a Musetti drop volley and hit an angled backhand pass to gain the early advantage. The Serb's dominance continued throughout the match, as he broke Musetti's serve three times to take the opening set 6-4.
Musetti showed his fighting spirit in the second set, breaking Djokovic's serve early on. However, the world No. 1 responded with a break of his own and eventually leveled the match with a 7-6 victory in the tiebreaker.
