ROLAND GARROS, PARIS — Friday night at the French Open, Novak Djokovic played a level of tennis that few people on this planet will ever reach, and Jannik Sinner still beat him in straight sets.
With his unmatched precision, and his ability to turn defense into offense with a snap of his hips and a flick of his wrists, Sinner beat Djokovic 6-3, 7-5, 7-6(3) in a match that was tight, nervy and at times physically wrenching. It was also an exhibition of baseline tennis, a barrage of changes in angle, redirections of pace and sliding lateral movement, from the man who redefined those things in the 2010s and the man who has remade them once more.
