At the Philippe-Chatrier court on Friday, Novak Djokovic lost his semi-final match of the current French Open 2025 to Jannik Sinner by a score of 4-6, 5-7, 6-7. Although the Serb is now 38, he demonstrated his talent with a fantastic quarterfinal victory against Alexander Zverev and gave Sinner a strong battle.

Like it's the last time we're seeing him in action, he paused, put his bags down, and turned to wave goodbye to the crowd as he walked off the court after his loss.

"I don't know whether this may have been my last game ever played here," he said at the post-match press conference. For this reason, I found myself becoming a little more emotional, even toward the conclusion.

“It was a fantastic farewell game for me at Roland Garros in my career in terms of the mood and what I received from the crowd.”

"Do I want to continue playing?" I don't know whether I'll be able to play here again in a year. Yes, I do. For the time being, that's all I can say.

"It was a straight-set loss, but I feel like I did give him a run for his money, so to say," he stated in response to his loss to Sinner. Until the very last shot, I attempted to keep him working. I did my best. This is a game. All you have to do is shake the hand of the superior player and move on."

"Considering I wasn't in great shape coming into Roland Garros, I have to say I was proud of my effort tonight and in this tournament, but he was just too good for me tonight.

"Jannik likes to play at a high tempo throughout the game. He is quite active. He is in excellent shape and has a fantastic ball-hitting technique. He always appears to have perfect timing. He's hardly ever out of balance, and he's having the time of his life on the court. You can be sure that you'll get that rapid pace no matter where you play him, on any surface, which I don't mind all that much because it keeps me on my toes from the start," he continued.

The final will pit Sinner against Carlos Alcaraz, with the Spaniard defeating Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals.
