Djokovic's 25th Slam bid ends in a grueling French Open loss to Brazilian
teenager

Associated Press
PARIS (AP) --- Novak Djokovic's latest quest for a record 25th Grand Slam ended
with a defeat to Joao Fonseca in the third round of the French Open on Friday.
The 39-year-old Serb --- a three-time champion at Roland Garros --- lost to the
19-year-old Brazilian 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 as temperatures again reached 33
degrees C (91 F).
Djokovic looked exhausted in the fifth set but soldiered on and his exit leaves
the men's draw even more open following Jannik Sinner's second-round exit on
Thursday.
