“This could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don’t know. That’s why I was a bit more emotional even in the end,” Djokovic told reporters. “If this was the farewell match of the Roland Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd.

Novak Djokovic is a tennis legend, so it can't be easy for him to face a semi-final loss to a player many years his junior, even one as good as Italy's Jannik Sinner. It was a thrilling loss - in the French Open semi-final round on June 6 to Sinner - but a loss all the same.
