Djokovic survives French Open scare.

Jun 03, 2017

Novak Djokovic survived a scare in the third round of the French Tennis Open, when he was pushed to five sets by unseeded Argentine Diego Schwartzman. 

The former world number one made 55 unforced errors and even received a warning for arguing with the umpire, as he battled back from two sets to one down to win.

Tournament favourite Rafa Nadal, however, had no such problems, recording a comfortable straight sets win over Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Meanwhile in the women's event, defending champion Garbine Muguruza is thru to the last 16, where she's joined by the likes of Venus Williams and Svetlana Kutznetsova.
