Novak Djokovic Makes History Again: Record-Breaking Grand Slam Triumph Sparks Global Buzz

Novak Djokovic arrives on Court Philippe-Chatrier this afternoon with history within touching distance. The 37-year-old Serbian superstar, who already owns a men’s-record 24 Grand Slam singles titles, meets world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the French Open 2025 semifinals, knowing two more victories would elevate him to an unprecedented 25th major crown. Djokovic dismissed Alexander Zverev in straight sets during the quarter-finals and, according to the German, remains “still up there with the best” despite his age. Road to the semifinals • Round 1: def. Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 • Round 2: def. Sebastian Korda 6-3, 7-6, 6-2 • Round 3: def. Félix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 • R16: def. Ben Shelton 7-6, 6-3, 6-2 • QF: def. Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 Head-to-head vs Sinner Djokovic trails 2-3 in their rivalry and has lost the last three encounters, including November’s ATP Finals semifinal. However, two of his wins came on clay, and he has beaten the Italian in Paris before—most memorably in the 2022 quarter-final when he rallied from two sets down. Match time, TV and streaming The second men’s semifinal is scheduled not before 15:30 local (13:30 UTC) on Friday 6 June. Viewers in the U.S. can watch live on Tennis Channel, while Eurosport, TSN and ESPN Latin America carry coverage in their respective regions. Official streaming is available via Roland Garros Live and participating broadcaster apps; cord-cutters can use services such as Fubo, YouTube TV and Discovery+. What’s at stake • A win sends Djokovic into his 37th major final, extending his own record. • Securing a 25th Slam would break the all-time singles mark—male or female—currently shared with Margaret Court. • Victory would also guarantee the Serbian returns to world No. 1 on Monday regardless of the championship result. Quote of the day “I still wake up hungry for the big trophies,” Djokovic told France Télévisions after the quarter-finals. “History is my fuel, but so is the challenge of facing these young lions.” Key stats for searchers Novak Djokovic French Open 2025; Djokovic vs Sinner start time; Roland Garros semifinal live stream; Djokovic Grand Slam record; Djokovic age; head-to-head Djokovic Sinner.
