And in the end, Novak Djokovic wins! In a match that will go down in the history of Roland-Garros, the Serbian eliminated Lorenzo Musetti in five sets (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 6-0) and 4h32 of play. Spectacular points, anthology exchanges, the two players offered a real spectacle to everyone present as well as to the viewers who stayed awake.
03:03 – The games go by (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 5-0)
On a too-uncrossed drop shot that ends in the corridor, Lorenzo Musetti loses his sixth game in a row. The Italian is one game away from exiting the 3rd round of Roland-Garros.
02:56 – Imbroglio with the referee
For failure to respect the time allowed to serve, Novak Djokovic received a second warning, at the same time canceling his first ball. While Lorenzo Musetti asked the Serb to serve a first serve, the referee did not allow the world No. 1 to serve a first serve.
02:50 – Djokovic as boss (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 4-0)
Novak Djokovic is beating Lorenzo Musetti! Double break and service to come for the Serb who recites his tennis to perfection.
02:49 – Djokovic unfolds (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 3-0)
Since Novak Djokovic’s return to form, Lorenzo Musetti has no longer been able to keep up with the pace of the world No. 1 who is heading more than ever towards the round of 16 with this fourth game in a row won.
02:45 – Air gap for Musetti (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 2-0)
Fourth consecutive service game lost by Lorenzo Musetti who has not won his faceoff since 1-1 in the fourth set. Imperial since the start of the match, the Italian experienced a real drop in physical intensity, largely understandable given the intensity put in by the two players. By taking the service of the Transalpin, Novak Djokovic takes a big step towards victory.
02:39 – Djokovic persists (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 1-0)
Novak Djokovic wants to enjoy his highlight and does not want to let Lorenzo Musetti achieve a feat.
02:32 – A decisive round at the end of the night! (7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3)
Thank you gentlemen for this show which will have its epilogue in a breathtaking fifth round! Novak Djokovic once again broke the Italian who perhaps suffered the blow physically.
02:29 – What a point!
The divine points keep coming on the Philippe Chatrier court! It’s a truly legendary match that Lorenzo Musetti and Novak Djokovic produce. On a drop shot from the Serbian, the Italian makes a counter shot but the world No. 1 crosses a delivery at the end of the effort. Once again, Central explodes!
02:28 – Djokovic breaks a credit (7-5 6-7 2-6 5-3)
Superb comeback game from Lorenzo Musetti who recovers one of his two late breaks.
