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.

Novak Djokovic said his French Open semi-final defeat to World No 1 Jannik Sinner could have been his final match at Roland Garros as he sparked suggestions that he is nearing retirement. The 38-year-old was denied in his bid to a win a record-breaking 25th grand slam singles title as Sinner held on to win in straight-sets.
