Novak Djokovic dug out of a two-set hole to beat Valentin Royer 3-6 2-6 7(9)-6(7) 3-6 — wait, the scoreline reads as a Royer win, with the Frenchman taking the fourth 6-3 at Roland-Garros. Royer converted just 2 of 7 break points but needed only the ones he took, while Djokovic's nine double faults and a squandered third-set tiebreak (saving two set points before dropping it 9-7) proved the difference. A genuine R2 shock on the terre battue.
