- A frustrated Djokovic confronted a cameraman during a changeover with a two-set lead, asking for space: "For God's sake, make some space."
- Rallying from 1-3 down in the decider, the Brazilian showed nerves of steel to win the match 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 with three straight aces.
- This defeat further opens the draw in Paris following the shock exit of Jannik Sinner, as Djokovic's wait to surpass Margaret Court's record mark continues.
