Novak Djokovic Faces Shocking Defeat at Roland Garros, Losing No. 1 Ranking

Argentine Francisco Cerundolo Stuns Serbian in Quarterfinals

Novak Djokovic's hopes of a record-tying 23rd Grand Slam title hang in the balance as he faces a shocking defeat at the hands of Argentine Francisco Cerundolo in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros.

Djokovic Trails by a Set, Faces Loss of No. 1 Ranking

Cerundolo has stunned the tennis world by taking the first set 7-5 against the world's top-ranked player. Djokovic, who has been battling a hamstring injury, has struggled to find his rhythm on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

If Cerundolo prevails, Djokovic will not only lose the match but also his No. 1 ranking in the PIF ATP Rankings. This would mark the first time since 2017 that he has not held the top spot.

Djokovic Fights Back, But Cerundolo Remains Strong

Despite the setback, Djokovic has shown his determination to fight back. He broke Cerundolo's serve in the second set and is now leading 3-0. However, the Argentine has remained strong, breaking Djokovic's serve once again to trail by only one break.

Conclusion

The match remains on a knife's edge, with both players locked in an intense battle. Djokovic is desperate to avoid a defeat that would end his hopes of winning a third consecutive French Open title and derail his pursuit of a calendar-year Grand Slam. Cerundolo, on the other hand, is riding a wave of momentum and has the chance to upset the established order of men's tennis. As the match progresses, the world will be watching with bated breath to see if Djokovic can overcome his injury and defy the odds, or if Cerundolo can pull off one of the biggest upsets in recent Grand Slam history.
