The French Open ended on Sunday with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek crowned champions after two weeks which featured geopolitics, controversies over sportsmanship as well as marathon matches. Here are the top 10 highlights of the French Open 2023:
Novak Djokovic wants to create history and complete the Calendar Slam with victories at Wimbledon and the US Open after his French Open victory. The Serbian claimed his 23rd major title with a 7-6(1) 6-3 7-5 win over Casper Ruud in Sunday’s French Open final. Ad Should everything go at planned at Wimbledon, where he will be bidding for an eighth title to equal Roger Federer's record, he could have the chance in New York to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the Calendar Slam.
Novak Djokovic, who won a record-equalling 23rd Grand Slam title on Sunday, is driven on through controversy by his determination to be the greatest ever.
Novak Djokovic insists it is "disrespectful" to hail him as the greatest player of all time after clinching a record-breaking 23rd men's Grand Slam title on Sunday. The 36-year-old Djokovic defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets in the French Open final, breaking the tie of 22 majors he shared with longtime rival Rafael Nadal. A third Roland Garros title added to his 10 Australian Open trophies, seven Wimbledons and three at the US Open. He is the only man to win all four Slams on at least three occasions and on Monday he will return to the world number one ranking and start a 388th week on top of the pile.
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.
Following are reactions to Novak Djokovic winning a men's record 23rd Grand Slam singles title by beating Casper Ruud in the French Open final on Sunday.
PARIS : If the debate about the best-ever man to wield a tennis racket came down to statistics alone, Novak Djokovic's status as the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) would already be decided after he clinched a 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open on Sunday.
PARIS : While Novak Djokovic was already looking ahead to a potential record-extending 24th Grand Slam title, there was also time on Sunday for him to look back at what had shaped him as tennis's most successful male player - hardship and adversity.
