Novak Djokovic celebrated his 38th birthday two weeks ago, but he continues to excel in Grand Slam tournaments.

By securing a spot in the Roland-Garros semifinals, the Serbian has become the second-oldest player in the Open Era to achieve such a feat, trailing only Richard Gonzales, who reached the final four in Paris in 1968 at the age of 40 years and 18 days.

This is a remarkable testament to the longevity of the former world No. 1, who arrived at Roland-Garros with extra motivation after clinching his 100th career title in Geneva.

On Friday, he will attempt to reach his eighth career final at Porte d'Auteuil, facing world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.

Almost as important to Djokovic as Slam #25--and requiring less luck--is beating Federer's total of 103 singles titles. He'll play 250s, and might even surpass Connors's 109.
