It was not another match more. He Novak Djokovic-Francisco Cerundolo Roland Garros will be remembered for a long time.
The Serbian, number one in the world at that time, and with problems in his right knee, overcame adversity against a combative Argentine Cerúndolo (27th), whom he defeated 6-1, 5-7, 3-6, 7-5 and 6-3, in 4 hours and 39 minutes, to reach the quarterfinals at Roland Garros for the 15th time.
The Argentine spoke about this in the studies of SportsCenter. “You have a lot of emotions at that moment. Losing, being hot but at the same time everyone applauds you, even Nole. I tried to enjoy it. I don’t know how much career he has left and how many more times I’m going to play. That’s why it will remain in my memory forever.” .
Thanks to his longest duel on French clay, the legendary Serbian, 37 years old and owner of 98 titles, who was 4-2 down in the fourth set, staged another incredible comeback.
Even so, after the match the Serbian had to leave the tournament. “The match was strange. In the first set he beat me well and He called for a doctor very quickly in the second. At that moment I thought something is wrong with him but I can’t stay with that.
What do you take away from the experience in Paris? “Mentally, the game gave me an extra bit of confidence that I was missing. Even though I lost, I showed a great level.” Now it’s time to change the chip: “Playing on grass changes everything.”
