In a dramatic turn of events at the Shanghai Masters 2025, tennis legend Novak Djokovic survived a tense three-set battle against Spain’s Jaume Munar, overcoming a mid-match collapse to win 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 and book his place in the quarterfinals. The match, held on a humid evening in Shanghai, tested Djokovic physically and mentally in a way few matches have this season.
Djokovic began the contest in commanding fashion, dictating rallies with trademark precision and sealing the first set 6-3 with relative ease. His footwork was sharp, and his serve consistent, keeping Munar on the back foot throughout the opener. However, the tide began to shift in the second set as Munar raised his level, engaging Djokovic in longer, more physically demanding rallies that began to take a visible toll.

At 5-7 in the second set, moments after losing a key point that handed Munar the set, Djokovic suddenly collapsed near the baseline, falling to the court in exhaustion. The stadium fell silent as medical staff and tournament officials rushed to his aid. Djokovic appeared to be suffering from heat exhaustion or severe fatigue, and for a moment, it seemed uncertain whether he would be able to continue the match.
With assistance, Djokovic was helped back to his feet and received a brief on-court evaluation before signaling his intent to fight on. What followed was a display of resilience that has come to define the 24-time Grand Slam champion's career. In the deciding third set, Djokovic returned with renewed intensity, breaking Munar early and taking full control of the momentum. Despite the scare, his movement improved, and his shot-making regained its crispness as he surged ahead to take the final set 6-2.
The win not only confirmed Djokovic’s place in the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters, but also reinforced his reputation as one of the toughest competitors in tennis history. While his on-court collapse raised concerns about his physical condition, his ability to regroup and dominate the third set left fans and commentators in awe of his mental fortitude.
