Djokovic’s victory over Berrettini last night was the one and only night-session match to have fans at this year’s tournament – until they were turfed out at 11 p.m. local timeWhy did the fans have to leave? The rules had been loosened on Wednesday, allowing more fans – up to 5,000 – to watch on Chatrier than previously throughout the tournament. “I didn’t mind actually leaving the court because I felt like I needed a little bit of a break and reset,” said Djokovic. Victory ensures Djokovic will renew his enduring rivalry with Nadal, who is aiming for a record-extending 14th title at Roland Garros. Djokovic, 34, is two behind Nadal and Federer after winning his 18th Grand Slam at the Australian Open in February.
