It was a long day at the French Open for world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
The 24-time major champion outlasted Italian Lorenzo Musetti 7-5 6-7 2-6 6-3 6-0 in a third round five-set thriller which ended at 3.08 a.m local time in Paris. The Serbian, 37, found himself down two sets to one but rallied to beat the 22-year-old in four hours and 29 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier, breaking the record for the latest match finish at Roland Garros by almost two hours.

The crowd got behind me and I’m really thankful for that because I needed that, I needed that push, I needed that energy and, of course, super glad to finish with an amazing fifth set.” The start time was delayed about two hours on a rain-affected day, but officially got underway just after 10:30 p.m. local time. “I don’t want to get into it.
