Djokovic loses to Brazilian Fonseca in French Open third round
Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic lost in the third round of the French Open to Brazilian Joao Fonseca. The result is a surprise, as the world No. 4 Djokovic lost to the world No. 30.
SportThe Paris clay courts have delivered another shock — the Serbian world No. 4 Novak Djokovic has bowed out of the French Open in the third round, losing to Brazilian Joao Fonseca, who holds 30th place in the ATP rankings.
Fonseca displayed reliable and mature play in the match, defeating the experienced Djokovic, who has accumulated vast experience at Roland Garros and won three French Open titles. The Brazilian's victory is one of the tournament's biggest upsets.
Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam titles in his career, was unable to produce his best tennis on court this time. Elimination in the third round is a rare occurrence for him in Paris, where he has historically been among the strongest players.
