"With great company" - Novak Djokovic and son Stefan enjoy watching French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz & Alexander Zverev

Novak Djokovic and his son Stefan enjoyed as they watched the 2024 French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev together. The Serb had to withdraw from his quarterfinal encounter at Roland Garros due to a medial meniscus tear in his right knee.

Djokovic had a tough road to the quarterfinals. He won his first two matches against Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Roberto Carballes Baena in straight sets but encountered a tough challenge from Lorenzo Musetti in the third round. The Serb finally emerged victorious in five sets.

The World No. 1 also faced a stiff challenge from Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round. He survived a marathon to defeat the Argentine in five sets. He was expected to play Casper Ruud in the quarterfinal but withdrew before the match.

Even though the Serb could not make it to the final of the Paris Slam, he is enjoying the final with his son Stefan.

"Enjoying this match with some great company," he wrote.

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are hunting for their first title in Paris. While the German has yet to win a Grand Slam title, Alcaraz will look to add to his Grand Slam tally, having already won two. He previously won the 2022 US Open and Wimbledon 2023.
