Video - The monumental point between Djokovic and Sinner at Roland-Garros
Djokovic and Sinner faced off in the Roland-Garros semifinals.
After Sinner took the first set (6-4), the second set began with a sensational point between the two players.
Indeed, the Serb and the Italian went toe-to-toe in this rally, starting with an intense baseline battle before—as has become his trademark—the Serb attempted a drop shot, which the world No. 1 skillfully retrieved. Sinner sprinted back and forth across the court before ultimately conceding the point.
This 26-shot rally lasted over 30 seconds. The Grand Slam record-holder then gestured to the crowd, urging them to raise the volume.
