French Open Will Have A New Men’s Champion

PARIS (AP) — There will be a new men’s champion at the French Open after Novak Djokovic followed Jannik Sinner out of the door at Roland Garros in a five-set thriller. Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca beat 24-time major winner Djokovic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 in the third round to follow Thursday’s huge upset when four-time Grand Slam winner Sinner lost to 56th-ranked Juan Manuel Cerundolo. But second-seeded Alexander Zverev, the 2024 runner-up, advanced. Along with Daniil Medvedev, Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka all the men’s major winners are out. So a new pair of hands will raise the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy on June 7.
