Joao Fonseca has just achieved much more than a victory against Novak Djokovic (4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5) in the third round of Roland Garros 2026. The Brazilian not only ends the reign of the winner of 24 Grand Slams but also breaks a streak of the Serbian that had been ongoing for 16 years. Djokovic had only lost one Grand Slam match after being two sets up, which was in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros in 2010 against Jurgen Melzer.
