Tennis legend Novak Djokovic may not be dominating the court as frequently as he once did, but his performance in major tournaments remains formidable. After navigating a rigorous path, Djokovic has reached the semifinals at Roland Garros, where he faces a titanic clash with Jannik Sinner on Friday afternoon.

Despite being 38 years old, Djokovic has displayed remarkable form and fitness throughout the tournament. Remarkably, it was only during his quarterfinal match against the No. 3 seed, Alexander Zverev, that Djokovic conceded a set. Prior to this, he had breezed through his matches, effortlessly making his way to the final four. This efficient progression means Djokovic has minimized the physical toll on his body, positioning him well for the high-stakes encounter ahead.

Jannik Sinner, however, presents a formidable challenge. Fresh off a strong showing at the Rome Masters, where he reached the finals, Sinner has continued his impressive form at Roland Garros. The player, who boasts a 17-1 record in 2025, has yet to drop a set, making him the clear-cut favorite against Djokovic with betting odds favoring him at -480.

Nonetheless, underestimating Djokovic could be a mistake. The 24-time grand slam champion has proven his resilience and capability time and again. His ability to maintain peak physical condition without overexerting himself thus far in the tournament could level the playing field against the younger, seemingly fresher Sinner.

As the tennis world braces for what promises to be a gripping semifinal, the potential for a classic five-set showdown looms large. Djokovic, with all his experience and strategic prowess, just might pull off another legendary victory.
