Djokovic is in the quarterfinals in Paris, again he hit the line referee

World number one Novak Djokovic from Serbia is 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 3 over Russian Karen Khachanov without losing a set in the quarterfinals of tennis Roland Garros. The Belgrade native was one of the top eight in the clay clay in Paris for the eleventh time in a row.

Djokovic, whose pilgrimage for the 18th grand slam title ended last month at the US Open with a shocking disqualification for shooting the referee with the ball, is so far sovereign in France.

He won all 12 sets and lost only 25 games. Thanks to today’s victory over the tournament’s 15 Chačanov, the Serbian favorite will play in the 47th grand slam quarterfinals. Only the Swiss Roger Federer (57) has more.

For the semifinals, Djokovic will face the Spaniard Pablo Carreno, with whom he clashed in the eighth finals of the New York Grand Slam. The 17th player in the Paris tournament, who became Djokovic’s only conqueror this year through the New York incident, defeated German qualifier Daniel Altmaier 6: 2, 7: 5 6: 2 in the round of 16.

Also in the match with Chačanov, Djokovič hit the line referee’s ball, but this time during the exchange, so it went without consequences for him.

“God, it was a really ugly déjà vu,” admitted the Serb, who was reaching in vain for the ball, which he sent in front of him on the other side of the court and hit the seated referee.

“Maybe he’s fine, I saw the place was a little red. He’ll definitely be able to do it. But it was a blow because it was pretty close. Of course, after what happened in New York, people will talk about it. It happened me and many other players in the fifteen years I’ve been on the circuit, “said Djokovic.

The next quarterfinal pair will be formed by Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrei Rubljov, who are among the top eight in Paris for the first time in their careers. The fifth seeded Greek Tsitsips defeated Bulgar Gregor Dimitrov in the fourth round 6: 3, 7: 6, 6: 2, the tournament thirteen Rublyov defeated 6: 7, 7: 5, 6: 4, 7: 6 Hungarian Márton Fucsovic.

In the general at Roland Garros, Rublyov triumphed over Tsitsipas in the finals of the clay tournament in Hamburg.

Monday’s Roland Garros program complicated the rain. The program was played only under the overcast roof of Philippe Chatrier’s central court. The last round of 16 in women’s singles between Tunisian Ons Jabur and American Danielle Collins has been postponed to Tuesday.
