Novak Djokovic said that he had doubts about whether he would finish his marathon fourth-round contest against Francisco Cerúndolo at the French Open, such was the extent of the knee pain he was managing throughout the match. Djokovic prevailed 6-1 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-3 in a pulsating encounter against the Argentinian world No. 27 on Monday, his second consecutive five-set match after a brutal 3 a.m. finish against Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in the third round.
He continued playing after a medical timeout but later acknowledged that his movement was hampered, particularly when he was forced to make a sudden change of direction or race to the net to retrieve a drop shot. It was only near the end of the fourth set when Djokovic, aiming to win an outright record 25th grand slam singles title at the French Open, was able to move without pain and raise his game.
