The tennis world was rocked Friday when Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca delivered a stunning upset victory over Novak Djokovic at the French Open, crushing the Serbian star’s hopes of capturing a historic 25th Grand Slam championship.
Fonseca defeated the 39-year-old tennis legend 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 in their third-round match in Paris, marking a dramatic end to Djokovic’s quest to surpass Margaret Court’s all-time Grand Slam record.
The shocking elimination extends Djokovic’s pursuit of the milestone as his illustrious career enters its final chapters. The upset also creates additional opportunities in the tournament bracket, coming just one day after top-ranked player Jannik Sinner was surprisingly knocked out of the competition.
