37 years old and endless talent. World number one Novak Djokovic never ceases to amaze and even when he seems one step away from the abyss he manages to get back up and find the strength to achieve yet another great feat of an extraordinary career.
The twenty-four time Grand Slam winner was down 2 sets to 1 against our young talent Lorenzo Musetti, two in the morning in Italy and the whole world waiting to see the fall of the king. The victory of the blue would probably have meant the surrender of Nole, Jannik Sinner would have become number one in the world and the Serbian would have continued his trend with 0 titles in 2024.
Here, however, Djokovic didn’t give up, he made himself strong and played two sets of a high level, also taking advantage of the Carrarino’s emotional and above all physical decline. Round of 16 reached and the challenge still open for Roland Garros and number one with Nole who has no intention of abdicating.
At the end of the match Djokovic had words of praise for his opponent but many underlined his value. The match against Musetti also remains a historic challenge, the Belgrade tennis player won his 369th match in Grand Slam tournaments overnight, reaching the person who held this record, his eternal rival Roger Federer.
369 victories in the Slams and the desire to continue and improve a record that seemed difficult to reach: as well as the 20 Slams and as well as the weeks at the top of the ATP rankings, Djokovic instead proved everyone wrong and achieved yet another feat of his extraordinary career .
The data is clear and once again puts Nole higher than everyone else:
