Novak Djokovic admits that his push towards a record-setting 23rd Grand Slam title is at the mercy of a “long list” of injuries at the French Open with “pills and angels” amongst the cures.
Djokovic, chasing a third Roland Garros title, reached the fourth round for a 14th successive year on Friday with a bruising 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 win over Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. At three hours and 36 minutes it was the longest three-set match of his career.
