The 38-year-old Djokovic beat British star Cameron Norrie in the fourth round of the clay Grand Slam, cruising to a straight-set victory: 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. With the win, Djokovic joined Rafael Nadal as the only players to win 100 matches at Roland-Garros.
Djokovic also earned his 19th quarterfinal berth at the French Open, which is another record for a single Grand Slam tournament.
While fans heaped praise on Djokovic for his sustained dominance, his actions after his win also had fans buzzing.
In a video posted by Roland-Garros after the match, Djoker was seen imitating women's tennis World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and her victory poses.

Djokovic did a couple of peace signs while also bending his body like Sabalenka did after she won her third- and fourth-round matches against Olga Danilovic and Amanda Anisimova, respectively.
The three-time French Open winner didn't hide the fact that he was imitating Sabalenka, as he mentioned her name before doing the poses.
Sure enough, fans loved the moment, with many taking to the comments section to react to the video.
"This man makes us laugh everyday," the ATP Tour wrote.
A commenter joked, "Damn Aryna does such a good impersonation of novak." Another one said, "He's so funny, love him."
"When the match is over but the dance battle just begins," a fan added.

Djokovic and Sabalenka have a close bond. The two even trended online in January 2024 for their antics after they teamed up for a mixed doubles charity match. Clearly, their friendship remains as strong as it has ever been.
