Novak Djokovic has once again etched his name into tennis history by winning his 23rd Grand Slam title at the 2023 French Open. The Serbian superstar defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets, 7-6(1), 6-3, 7-5, to secure the championship at Roland-Garros.
This monumental victory propels Djokovic beyond Rafael Nadal’s previous record of 22 men’s Grand Slam singles titles, making him the sole record holder in the Open Era. At 36 years old, Djokovic continues to defy expectations, demonstrating unparalleled skill and resilience on the court.
“It’s an incredible feeling to achieve this milestone,” Djokovic said during the trophy ceremony. “I am grateful for the support from my team, family, and fans around the world.”
Throughout the tournament, Djokovic showcased his dominance without dropping a single set in the early rounds. His path to the final included impressive victories over notable players such as Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals, where he overcame the young Spaniard in a thrilling match.
With this win, Djokovic also regains the World No. 1 ranking, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The tennis world now eagerly anticipates Wimbledon, where Djokovic will aim to continue his historic run.
