Djokovic Dominates Misolic in Electrifying Roland Garros Night Showdown
So, let’s talk about what went down last night at Roland Garros—because honestly, it was vintage Novak Djokovic. Under the Parisian night sky, on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Djokovic delivered yet another masterclass. The sixth seed, who’s chasing his 25th Grand Slam title, made light work of Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic, wrapping things up in straight sets: 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. That’s right—he didn’t drop a single set. Not that we expected otherwise, but it was still something to witness.
What made this match even more electric was the atmosphere. Imagine playing one of the most intense matches of your tournament, and in the background, fireworks are going off. Fans are cheering—not always for the tennis, but for PSG’s historic Champions League win. Their stadium is just blocks away, and the crowd at Chatrier was lit, literally and figuratively. You could hear roars of celebration mid-rally as Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Inter Milan 5-0. Djokovic even joked about it afterward, saying he thought to himself, “What’s going on? That’s a lot of goals!” He was hoping to watch the football game himself, but duty called.

Despite the distractions, Djokovic remained focused and clinical. He did what champions do—he adapted. Misolic, ranked No. 153, gave it his all and showed real fight, even saving multiple break points early in the match. But once Novak found his rhythm—especially after finally breaking serve on his tenth chance—there was no stopping him. The stats back it up too: 33 winners, only 14 unforced errors, and just one break point faced—and saved.
What stood out more than anything was Djokovic’s love for the game and the stage. He acknowledged the energy of the night crowd and embraced the chaos with poise. “Every time I step onto this court I’m playing for history,” he said. “I want to give back the love I experience when I’m playing.” That’s a 38-year-old legend, still fueled by passion, still pushing boundaries.
Now, he’s through to the fourth round—for the 16th straight year at Roland Garros. That’s not just consistency; that’s dominance. Next up? Britain’s Cameron Norrie. Novak has beaten him five times already, including a win just days ago in Geneva, but Norrie’s a fighter. Still, given what we’ve just seen from Djokovic, you’d be brave to bet against him.
Paris is buzzing, fireworks and all, and Novak Djokovic is right at the heart of it—still making history, still chasing greatness.
