Novak Djokovic has been knocked out of the French Open after losing an epic five-set battle against 19-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca.

The 39-year-old third seed - a big favourite for the title with Carlos Alcaraz injured and Jannik Sinner suffering a surprise defeat on Thursday - flew out to a 5-1 lead in the first set in their third-round encounter, but Fonseca roared back to 5-4 only for Djokovic to keep his composure and serve it out.

A tight second set was pinched by Djokovic 6-4, but his teenage opponent then hit back to win the third 6-3 via some outstanding play.

Fonseca then moved a break ahead in the fourth and consolidated for 2-0, but the the Brazilian was broken back when 30-0 up and then missed two further break points at 4-4 in an epic game Djokovic survived.

Fonseca kept his head to break the Serbian again at 5-5, however, serving out the fourth set thrillingly to take things to a fifth.

After allowing an ailing Djokovic to break him, Fonseca proceeded to come back from 3-1 down in the decider, capping off a sensational 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 victory.
