French Open: Novak Djokovic turns the match against Musetti, Rafael Nadal certainly continues

Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals at the French Open in Paris, but had to work hard against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti. Djokovic lost the first two sets 6: 7 (7: 9), 6: 7 (2: 7) against the 19-year-old before Musetti lost his strength and the Serbian world number one turned the game.

Djokovic won sets three and four 6: 1, 6: 0, then the Italian gave up after 3:27 hours with a score of 4: 0 for Djokovic in the fifth set. “Hats off to him for playing well in important moments,” said Djokovic of Musetti’s impressive performance. “After I lost the second set, changed my clothes and came back on the pitch, I just felt different. I was a different player and felt better when I hit. “

Djokovic is now facing the next Italian. Opponent in the quarter-finals is Matteo Berrettini, who benefited from the fact that his opponent Roger Federer had withdrawn before the game.

Far less trouble than Djokovic had top favorite Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard prevailed against the Italian Jannik Sinner after a strong performance 7: 5, 6: 3, 6: 0. The 13-time Roland Garros champion only had a few problems in the first run, but then showed Sinner in phases. After only 2:17 hours, the one-sided game was over again.
