Novak Djokovic has made history by winning a record 23rd Grand Slam title at the 2023 French Open in Paris on Sunday. He overpowered his opponent, Casper Ruud with his strong serves and precise returns into the red dust of Court Philippe Chatrier. This win also broke the record previously held by Rafael Nadal for the most Grand Slam singles titles in men’s tennis history. Djokovic expressed his gratitude, stating “It’s an incredible feeling to win 23 Grand Slams. Every single player dreams of being on this stage and winning the trophy at least once in their career.”
Djokovic had a total of 11 aces, 52 winners, and converted 3 of 10 break point opportunities in the match, which lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes. Ruud, who is ranked No. 4, converted 1 of 4 break point opportunities and had four aces and 31 winners. “Another day he rewrites tennis history, again,” Ruud said. “It’s tough to explain how incredible it is and how good he is.”
With this victory, Djokovic has also tied Serena Williams for the second-most Grand Slam singles titles in tennis history. Margaret Court still holds the overall record with 24 titles. Djokovic earned $2.4 million for the win, while Ruud is expected to maintain his No. 4 ranking.
Wimbledon 2023 is the next Grand Slam on the tennis calendar, which will be held from July 3 to 16 at the All England Law Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Djokovic will be looking to start the year with three-consecutive Grand Slam titles for the second time in his career, after winning the 2023 Australian Open. He was denied of a Calendar Slam when he lost at the 2021 U.S. Open.
