Novak Djokovic survives a thrilling five-set clash against Francisco Cerundolo at the Roland-Garros, advancing to the quarter-finals in a rollercoaster match.

The top seed fought off a stern challenge from Cerundolo, eventually triumphing 6-1, 5-7, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to keep his historic quest for a record-setting 25th Grand Slam title in singles play intact.

After securing victory over Cerundolo, Djokovic sets up a quarter-final showdown against the winner of the Taylor Fritz and Casper Ruud encounter.

Djokovic, the reigning Roland-Garros champion, currently shares the all-time singles Grand Slam record of 24 titles with the legendary Margaret Court.

The 37-year-old Serbian star found himself in a tough spot down two sets to one against Cerundolo but showcased his champion’s mentality to claim the final three sets, overcoming a hard fall in the deciding fifth set.

This epic battle marked Djokovic’s second consecutive five-set match after a grueling third-round victory over Italy’s rising star, Lorenzo Musetti, just days before.
