Novak Djokovic and wife Jelena were captured arguing animatedly during the Serb’s miraculous fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo at the French Open. The argument erupted during the third game of the decisive fifth set, with the game level at 30-30.

 

 

Djokovic, visibly frustrated with something, used a combination of words and hand gestures to communicate with his wife, who was in his box. Jelena, not one to take things lying down, also got up from her seat and responded to the Serb similarly.Watch the animated spat between Djokovic and Jelena below:

It turned out to be a grueling outing for the World No. 1, as a knee injury sustained by the Serb early in the second set appeared to have a lasting impact. Even though he had comfortably won the first set 6-1, his sluggish movement resulted in Cerundolo taking the second and third sets.

The Argentine looked the favorite to win after establishing a 4-2 lead in the fourth set.However, that’s when Djokovic stormed back into the contest, with his movement suddenly looking a lot sharper. The 24-time Grand Slam winner took the set 7-5, and there was no looking back as he made short work of Cerundolo in the fifth set, winning it 6-3 and sealing his progress to the quarterfinals. The four-hour and 39-minute thriller also proved to be an emotional rollercoaster ride for Jelena.

It was Djokovic’s second-consecutive five-setter at Roland Garros this year. He had come back from a similar deficit to win against Lorenzo Musetti in the previous round. The win also marked the World No. 1’s 370th victory in Grand Slams, as he surpassed great rival Roger Federer’s previous record of 369 wins.
