On Friday, Novak Djokovic will attempt to reach the fourth round of the French Open for the 14th straight year after women’s third seed Jessica Pegula was knocked out by Elise Mertens.
Djokovic has made headlines this week for his comments regarding Kosovo, but he will be hoping that his progress on Court Philippe Chatrier remains calm following two straight-set triumphs.
He remarked after his second-round victory over Marton Fucsovics that the statement “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia” that he scratched on a camera after his first match was “something I stand for.”
