Novak Djokovic's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel, and schedule | French Open 2023, 4R
Novak Djokovic booked his spot in the French Open second week with a hard-earned victory over Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Friday.
The Serb toiled for three lengthy sets — the first of two alone taking three hours — to keep his opponent at bay, eventually prevailing 7-6(4), 7-6(5), 6-2. Looking a pale shadow of himself at the start of the encounter, Djokovic grew stronger as the match progressed.
Looking to reclaim the French Open title, which he lifted as recently as 2021, Djokovic will now look to carry the form into the second week — where new challenges await.
Where is Novak Djokovic playing?
The Serb is currently in action at the season's second Grand Slam, the French Open. A two-time former champion in Paris, Djokovic lifted his first title here in 2016 — completing a career Grand Slam in the process. He then went on to play his fifth final at the tournament in 2020 before triumphing in 2021.
Djokovic is chasing a third French Open crown and a 23rd Grand Slam, which would put him one ahead of long-time on-court rival Rafael Nadal's 22.
Who is Novak Djokovic playing against?
Djokovic will take on Peruvian No. 1 Juan Pablo Varillas in his fourth-round encounter at the French Open. Having taken out the likes of Hubert Hurkacz and Roberto Bautista Agut, Varillas is fast gaining the reputation of a giant killer.
The most impressive facet of the Peruvian's run so far has been his tenacity and fighting spirit. All three of his wins at the French Open have come in titanic five-set tussles. Taking on the Serb's challenge, he will definitely need to conjure every bit of magic that has seen him come this far.
