The world No. 1 showcased his resilience and determination, coming back from two sets down to secure a 6-7(6), 6-7(2), 6-1, 6-0, 4-0 (retired) victory.
The match began under sunny skies in Paris, but as the sun began to set, the intensity on court escalated. Djokovic started brightly, but Musetti responded with some aggressive play, taking the opening two sets in tiebreaks.
Undeterred, Djokovic regrouped in the third set and found his rhythm. He began to dominate the rallies, forcing Musetti into errors and breaking his serve multiple times. The next two sets were a breeze for Djokovic, as he cruised to victory, much to the delight of the late-night crowd.
This victory marks Djokovic's 18th appearance in the last 16 of the French Open, extending his record as the player with the most appearances in this stage of the tournament. It also serves as a timely reminder of his dominance in the sport, as he continues to chase his 22nd Grand Slam title.
Djokovic will now face Diego Schwartzman in the fourth round on Monday. The Argentinean is a challenging opponent, but Djokovic will be confident of continuing his run at the title.
