Djokovic on the Brink of Defeat at Roland-Garros
Unheralded Cerundolo Takes First Two Sets
World No. 1 Faces Elimination in Paris
In a stunning upset, 23-year-old Francisco Cerundolo has taken a commanding 2-0 lead over Novak Djokovic in their fourth-round match at Roland-Garros. The Argentine qualifier, ranked 103rd in the world, has played with remarkable composure and aggression, forcing the 20-time Grand Slam champion into numerous errors.
Djokovic, who is seeking a third consecutive title at the French Open, has struggled to find his rhythm or impose his authority on the match. Cerundolo has broken Djokovic's serve five times, converting on seven of his nine break points. The Serb has won just 40% of his first serve points and has faced a relentless barrage of powerful groundstrokes from his opponent.
If Cerundolo can hold on to his lead and win the match, it would be one of the biggest upsets in tennis history. Djokovic has not lost a set at Roland-Garros since 2019 and is widely considered the favorite to win the tournament. However, Cerundolo has proven to be a resilient and determined competitor, and he is playing with the confidence of a man who believes he can pull off the impossible.
