Djokovic's bid for 25th Grand Slam title ends with French Open loss to Fonseca
Novak Djokovic was defeated by Joao Fonseca in the third round of the French Open on Friday, ending his pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam title.
PARIS -- Novak Djokovic 's latest quest for a record 25th Grand Slam ended with a defeat to Joao Fonseca in the third round of the French Open on Friday.
The Serb -- a three-time champion at Roland Garros -- lost to the 19-year-old Brazilian 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 as temperatures again reached 91 degrees Fahrenheit.
Djokovic, 39, looked exhausted in the fifth set but soldiered on. His exit leaves the draw even more open following Jannik Sinner 's second-round exit on Thursday; no men's major champions remain in the draw.
