PARIS: Novak Djokovic will bid to reach the French Open fourth round for a 14th consecutive year on Friday, after women’s third seed Jessica Pegula was dumped out of the tournament by Elise Mertens.
Djokovic has made headlines for his comments about Kosovo this week but will be hoping his progress on Court Philippe Chatrier remains serene after two straight-sets wins so far.
He said after his second-round win over Marton Fucsovics that the message “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia” he scrawled on a camera following his opening match was “something I stand for”.
His next opponent, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, will likely provide a sterner test, though….
