Antonio Borga/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty ImagesAfter dominating the first set, Djokovic tweaked his knee at the start of the second and took a medical timeout. It was only near the end of the fourth set when Djokovic was able to seemingly move without pain and raise his game. “I slipped way too many times,” Djokovic told reporters.

CNN —US Open champion Coco Gauff said tennis matches finishing at 3 a.m. are “not healthy” for the players, but also said she is aware there are a lot of people working in far worse conditions around the world. The American’s comments came at this year’s French Open, after Novak Djokovic outlasted Italian Lorenzo Musetti in a third round five-set thriller which ended at 3.08 a.m. local time in Paris on Sunday. Jean-Francois Badias/APHowever, such curfews do not relate to grand slam events where late finishes continue to be a problem, namely the French Open, Australian Open and US Open, where the demand for tickets and broadcasting rights are higher. “I think tournaments are trying their best and players are trying their best. “I was always one of the players that said that we should start a little bit earlier,” she told reporters.

GO DEEPER Novak Djokovic wins at 3:06 a.m. in latest finish in French Open historyCerundolo then settled, and Djokovic, unlike against Musetti when he was down and looked out, failed to rouse himself. After going 2-0 down in the final set, he broke straight back, drawing level at 2-2.

High winds had already disrupted the match, with white pollen from the nearby park blowing over and showering the players during the second set. Having already lost the first set 7-5, Murray was irked by the conditions and complained to umpire Greg Allensworth during a change of ends about the decision to keep playing. Yannick Hanfmann had taken a commanding lead over Murray in the match.

He’s the first Italian to win the Australian Open title in what could be a generational shift in tennis. For 2021 U.S. Open champion Medvedev, the loss was his fifth in six major finals. Nobody had done that on the way to an Australian Open final since Pete Sampras in 1995. In the sixth game of the fifth set, Sinner had triple breakpoint against a fatiguing Medvedev.
