Novak Djokovic suffered a shocking defeat to 19-year-old Brazilian João Fonseca at the French Open, marking his earliest exit since 2009. The Serbian star appeared to be in control after claiming the opening two sets but lost the next three.

The defeat also marked Djokovic's first Grand Slam loss to a teenager. His exit, along with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, has left the men's draw in uncharted territory.

With several top contenders out, Alexander Zverev has emerged as the clear favorite to win the title, holding +120 odds according to DraftKings. The German star had not dropped a set before his third-round clash with Quentin Halys.

Casper Ruud's chances have faded, while Rafael Jodar has gained ground with +500 title odds. João Fonseca and Felix Auger-Aliassime are also contenders to watch in the title race.
