The football fan Novak Djokovic would have liked to have looked at the Champions League final 2025 between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, but the schedule at the French Open of the tennis breed came in between. The 38-year-old Serb had a job to do at the same time. Namely in the night session on the court Philippe Chatrier, where he was opposed to him in the 3rd round of Austria Filip Misolic.
The 23-year-old Styrian, who had completed a training camp with the “Djoker” in Montenegro in August, showed little respect for the 24-time Grand Slam triumphant on a large stage. Even if, of course, some matches, not least the recent five-set battle against Denis Shapovalov (CAN), were in his bones. But you don’t get the chance every day to play against the most successful player in history at Major level.
Misolic lost 3: 6, 4: 6, 2: 6 after 2:08 hours, but sold his skin very expensive. He will be able to take a lot from this tournament – even in bare numbers. The Daviscupper will push ahead in the world rankings from 153. In addition, Misolic takes 168,000 euros gross in prize money.
“Filip has resisted”
There are also many sympathy that the Kitzbühel finalist from 2022 earned. The French audience was amazed at the beginning of the duel with Djokovic when Misolic defended a breakball after another. Seven were in the first service guided of the first set, two more followed.
