The highlight of the match? An unbelievable 26-shot rally in the second game of the second set. Sinner had the first set under his belt but now found himself in a tough spot down 0-1 in the second. Serving and under pressure from Djokovic, both players went to work with groundstrokes, trading shots off the baseline on a series of dead-straight line shots that drew gasps from the crowd.

The rally was by far the longest in the match, and arguably one of the best of the tournament so far.

The crowd at Court Philippe-Chatrier erupted with approval at the end of the point, with both players having tested the limits of their physical and mental strength. Djokovic, who is normally the most intense player on the court, broke into a smile and gave the crowd a glance to acknowledge the moment—a sign of just how unique that rally was.
