João Fonseca Stuns Novak Djokovic to Reach Roland Garros Last 16

Overview

• Fonseca beat Novak Djokovic 4–6, 4–6, 6–3, 7–5, 7–5 on Friday after a near five-hour match on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
• The victory is only the second time Djokovic has lost at Roland Garros after leading 2–0, a feat previously achieved by Jürgen Melzer in 2010.
• Fonseca earned €285,000 for reaching the round of 16 and moved into about No. 29 in the live ATP rankings following the win.
• He will face the winner of the Casper Ruud versus Tommy Paul match in the last 16 with that opponent still to be decided.
• With Djokovic eliminated, Jannik Sinner having exited after cramps on Thursday and Carlos Alcaraz absent, the men's draw no longer contains a past Grand Slam champion and the field is unusually open.
