Medvedev was upset, and Djokovic's French Open signing was improved again

At the 2025 French Open, a shocking match takes center stage. Britain's Cameron Norrie, former world No. 8 and now No. 81, staged a stunning comeback at Roland Garros' Simone Mathieu. Against 11th seed and former world No. 1 Daniel Medvedev, Norrie pulled off a big upset in a five-set battle with a score of 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5.

The game was full of ups and downs. Medvedev won match point at 5-3 in the fifth set and was on the verge of a shocking comeback, but he failed to capitalise on his chance at the crucial moment and lost a 5-4 lead in the service game. After that, Norrie quickly adjusted his form, winning four games in a row to seal the victory. After the game, Norrie admitted that he didn't think too much about it at match point, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and he was very grateful for the support of the crowd. He also said that he regained his rhythm and energy in the game, and that despite Medvedev's strength, the victory meant a lot to him.

Norrie's victory not only earned him a chance to advance, but he will also face Federico Agustín Gomez, the lucky loser of world number 144, in the second round, and indirectly affected the French Open campaign of another tennis superstar, Novak Djokovic. Previously, Medvedev was seen as a possible tough opponent for Djokovic in the round of 16. While Medvedev's form has been up and down this season, he has beaten Djokovic five times, including a victory in a Grand Slam final, a record that would have made him Djokovic's biggest threat ahead of the quarter-finals.

With Medvedev out, Djokovic's signing has improved further. Now, the only seeded player he could face in the fourth round is 22nd seed Amber, who has not been as good on clay. In addition, Norrie and another unseeded Great Britain, Jacob Feinley, are also potential opponents for Djokovic's last-16 clashes.

Djokovic is now on the verge of beating McDonald in straight sets in the first round, where he will face France's Mutai in the second round and Shapovalov in the third round. After Medvedev's shocking exit, Djokovic's path to the title seems to have become smoother, and it is worth looking forward to seeing if he can capitalize on this favourable situation and make another success at the French Open.
