JOHN WIGHT writes on legendary boxing trainer and philosopher, Cus D’Amato
NOVAK DJOKOVIC admitted his late-night finish at the French Open today “could have been handled differently” while Coco Gauff branded playing into the early hours “not healthy.”
Djokovic endured the latest finish in Roland Garros history as he beat Lorenzo Musetti in five sets to reach the fourth round, with the last ball struck at 3.08am local time.
The rain had wrecked another day on the outside courts in Paris so tournament chiefs decided to squeeze in an unfinished match under the roof on Court Phillipe Chatrier before Djokovic took on Musetti in the night session.
