Novak Djokovic's bid for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title ended in a shocking third-round exit at the French Open, courtesy of Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca's dramatic comeback.
The 19-year-old Fonseca rallied from two sets down to defeat the three-time French Open champion 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 in a nearly five-hour encounter.
As the match progressed, commentators questioned whether Djokovic was dealing with a physical issue, with TNT analyst Mary Joe Fernandez noticing concerning signs before the match.
Jim Courier cautioned against reading too much into Djokovic's body language, citing the Serbian's history of overcoming apparent physical problems during matches.
The defeat sends Fonseca into the Round of 16, where he will face the winner of the Casper Ruud-Tommy Paul clash.
Djokovic's elimination adds to the chaos in the men's tournament, with World No. 1 Jannik Sinner already out and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz absent.
