Zverev & Djokovic Conquer French Open Thrillers, Advance to Round 4

In a day packed with edge-of-your-seat drama, tennis stars Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic fought tooth and nail to secure their spots in the French Open fourth round. Zverev’s showdown against Dutch 26th seed Tallon Griekspoor had fans glued to their seats like it was the latest Netflix cliffhanger!

The German world No. 4 clawed back from a shaky first set, eventually triumphing 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (10-3) in a marathon match lasting over four hours. This comes after Zverev’s straight-sets victories over legend Rafael Nadal and David Goffin earlier this week—proving he’s got stamina for days.

Court Philippe Chatrier erupted as Zverev sealed the win with a fierce tiebreak, his 16 aces lighting up the stats sheet. Djokovic, meanwhile, channeled his trademark resilience in another nail-biter, though details of his match remain under wraps (we’re refreshing our feeds too!).

Next up? Zverev faces Holger Rune in what’s sure to be another Gen-Z vs. Millennial showdown. Grab your popcorn, folks—this tournament’s heating up faster than a Parisian croissant!
