At age 38, Novak Djokovic secured his place in the French Open semifinals with a decisive comeback against Alexander Zverev, winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. This victory marked his 51st Grand Slam semifinal and highlighted his impressive capability despite earlier doubts about his performance. After an initial setback, Djokovic improved his serving percentage significantly in the subsequent sets while effectively utilizing a drop shot and varied tactics, allowing him to dominate Zverev and set the stage for a challenging semifinal against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
"Djokovic began the match by dropping his opening service game, prompting him to change rackets. However, he quickly adjusted and won 76% of his first serves."
"As the second set began, the Serbian fell into a familiar pattern, serving out wide and effectively using serve and volley strategies to regain control of the match."
