Novak Djokovic advanced to the quarterfinals of "Roland Garros" and that's it his record 17th place in the top eight at a Grand Slam tournament in Paris.

No tennis player has done that until now, and the Serbian tennis player left behind the "king" of the French Open Championship, Rafael Nadal, who played in the quarterfinals of the tournament 16 times.

Interestingly, Djokovic only won the Roland Garros title twice, while the Spaniard did it 14 times.

- Thank you all very much for the congratulations. I'm proud of that record, especially here. Like every player, I had a lot of thoughts, it's not like a few years ago, I had to do something with my body, but when I play like this, of course I'm happy to play like this - Djokovic said.

The third in the world for placement in the semifinals of "Roland Garros" will play against the Russian Karen Khachanov.
