But as the contest stretched on, fatigue and the sweltering conditions began to take their toll, and Djokovic\u2019s focus waned in the late stages. After nearly five hours, Fonseca completed a dramatic comeback to claim the victory.<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"height=333\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0201\/image-6d28c54c-1420-4cdd-ae69-dd04907148f7.jpeg\" width=\"500\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Fonseca, visibly emotional, said he needed time to process the win. \u201cEven after the match ended, it took me a while to realize it was real,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m slowly grasping what a huge achievement this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upsets have been a theme throughout this tournament. With world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev already eliminated, Djokovic\u2019s exit further shakes up the title picture.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, last year\u2019s runner-up Alexander Zverev maintained his composure. Zverev beat France\u2019s Quentin Halys to reach the round of 16 and keep his pursuit of a first major title alive.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, Ukraine\u2019s Marta Kostyuk extended her winning streak to 15 matches and kept up strong form. Kostyuk is set to face top contender Iga \u015awi\u0105tek in the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s French Open has turned unpredictable as top names continue to fall, and the tennis world is watching to see how far 19-year-old Fonseca\u2019s surge will go.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: AP \/ Yonhap Newsn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic suffers a shocking defeat to
