Novak Djokovic sets new milestone by surpassing Roger Federer with French Open win against Francisco Cerundolo

Novak Djokovic surpasses Roger Federer in Grand Slam wins after a tough match at the French Open. Injury concerns loom.

Novak Djokovic made history at the French Open by surpassing tennis legend Roger Federer with his 370th Grand Slam match win. This victory not only secured his 59th Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance but also put him on track to break the record for the most Grand Slam titles.

Despite facing a right knee injury that threatened his quest for a 24th Grand Slam title, Djokovic showed incredible resilience and determination to defeat Francisco Cerundolo in a grueling five-set match. The battle lasted over four hours, with Djokovic struggling with his movement and requiring a medical timeout for treatment. Despite considering retirement due to the pain, Djokovic continued after receiving pain medication.

However, the victory came at a cost, raising doubts about Djokovic's fitness for his upcoming quarterfinal match against Casper Ruud. Djokovic expressed concerns about the short-term effectiveness of the medication and the need for further evaluation of his injury. He also criticized the court conditions, suggesting that more frequent sweeping could have prevented his injury.
