In retrospect, it seemed inevitable. Novak Djokovic entering a Rafael Nadal-less French Open, where he's now 92-8 all time against players not named Nadal? Of course he came away with the crown, becoming the all-time Slam titles leader in the process.
PARIS : Serbia's Novak Djokovic is not yet done winning majors, his coach Goran Ivanisevic said on Sunday after the 36-year-old beat Norway's Casper Ruud in straight sets in the French Open final to claim a record 23rd men's singles Grand Slam title.
N o longer the polite and begrudging ripple of applause. No longer the soft shuffle of designer shoes towards the exits. This time the sound of triumph would be resounding and unqualified: from the plush seats where Zlatan Ibrahimović and Tom Brady were on their feet, to the windswept upper tiers where the cascade of Serbian flags caught the evening Parisian light. Roland Garros, and by extension the lineage of men’s tennis, is now the house of Novak Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic won his 23rd Grand Slam title after beating Casper Ruud to secure the 2023 French Open. Djokovic is now one ahead of long-time rival Rafael Nadal in the standings and three ahead of Roger Federer. Ad But does Djokovic now hold the men’s record? And what about the all-time record? And is he the GOAT? Roland-Garros'He's not done yet!' — Ruud backs Djokovic to add to his 23 Grand Slam victories36 MINUTES AGO Does Djokovic hold the Grand Slam record? For the first time in his career, Djokovic is the outright leader for the most Grand Slams won by a male tennis player.
Eurosport's experts have been lining up to pay tribute to Novak Djokovic after he clinched his 23rd Grand Slam singles title in the final of the French Open on Sunday. The 36-year-old surpassed his great rival, Rafael Nadal, with his 23rd major crown as he comprehensively defeated fourth seed Casper Ruud in straight sets, 7-6(1) 6-3 7-5, for his third triumph at Roland-Garros. Ad Shorlty after Djokovic sealed the deal in Paris, the attention switched to whether he could go on and clinch a famous 'Calendar Slam' by winning Wimbledon and the US Open — a feat he came close to securing in 2021 as he fell at the final hurdle.
Casper Ruud has reached three finals out of the last five Grand Slams played, an incredible achievement for any player. But he has yet to make it over the line, coming up just short against Novak Djokovic as the Serbian player made history at Roland-Garros. When Ruud reached this stage 12 months ago, he looked overawed to be playing his idol, Rafael Nadal, and only managed to win six games across three sets.
Novak Djokovic has reached a new pinnacle in the world of men's tennis by winning his 23rd Grand Slam title, having edged ahead of Rafael Nadal’s 22. He beat Casper Ruud in the French Open final in straight sets, with the clay-court specialist powerless to stop Djokovic’s date with destiny. This Slam has proved arguably the toughest for Djokovic to win, with his three titles here a far cry from the 10 he has achieved Down Under, and the seven at Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic stands alone at the pinnacle of men's tennis after defeating Casper Ruud to win his 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open.
