If some were afraid that this 2024 edition of Roland-Garros would lack salt with the premature elimination of Rafael Nadal in the first round, his long-time rival, Novak Djokovic, is indeed present to put on the show. After playing an anthology match against Lorenzo Musetti until the end of the night in the third round, the 37-year-old Serb did it again this Monday, June 3 during his round of 16 against the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo. The tennis legend started well before having a huge air gap in the second and third sets due to a knee problem.
But as he has accustomed the public for several years now, Novak Djokovic was able to come back to win in 5 sets in a crazy match, which inevitably delighted the spectators at the Philippe Chatrier central court. The man we saw fuming at the Australian Open and challenging a spectator to a duel is a player with temperament and even if things were going much better for him in the 5th and final set, he was unable to recover. prevent yourself from screaming your rage after a missed point despite a break in advance. An invective launched towards his clan, as if he was attacking them and visibly, his wife and mother of his two children, Stefan and Tara, wanted to react.

Since then, they haven’t left each other’s side, getting married in July 2014, a few months before the birth of their first child, Stefan, in October of that same year. and before the birth of their daughter, Tara, in September 2017.
