In a sensational upset at Roland Garros, 19-year-old Joao Fonseca has eliminated three-time French Open champion Novak Djokovic. The Brazilian wildcard battled back from two sets down to win a dramatic five-set epic, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5, in a match lasting nearly five hours under hot conditions.
Djokovic, a pre-tournament favorite, was unable to counter Fonseca's inspired play in the latter stages. The defeat significantly alters the landscape of the men's singles draw.
Elsewhere, Iga Swiatek advanced to the fourth round, setting up a clash with Marta Kostyuk. Other notable results included upsets by Jakub Mensik and Jesper de Jong, highlighting the unpredictable nature of this year's Grand Slam.
