Novak Djokovic's Wife Sends Message After His French Open Exit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Serbian tennis great, who continues to defy father time with his elite play on the court, lost to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in their showdown at Court Philippe Chatrier on Friday, 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3).

Novak Djokovic is a tennis legend, so it can't be easy for him to face a semi-final loss to a player many years his junior, even one as good as Italy's Jannik Sinner. It was a thrilling loss - in the French Open semi-final round on June 6 to Sinner - but a loss all the same.

“This could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don’t know. That’s why I was a bit more emotional even in the end,” Djokovic told reporters. “If this was the farewell match of the Roland Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd.
