The defending champion defeated Francisco Cerundolo 6-1 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-3 in four hours and 39 minutes.
Novak Djokovic will have a scan on Tuesday to determine if he can continue the defence of his French Open title.
He began grimacing and rubbing his right knee shortly after taking the first set and required a medical time-out at 2-1 down in the second. When the official told Djokovic the grounds people felt the surface was fine, the Serbian snapped: “They know better than me the court is good or not?” The 24-time grand slam champion, whose five-set match against Lorenzo Musetti finished after 3am on Sunday morning, appeared to be running on empty and chuntered with his team in the players’ box, occasionally appearing to suggest he was ready to give up.
And he did not appear too injured when he dived to get to a volley at the net, almost going full splits before landing on his stomach on his way to winning another remarkable match.
