Djokovic Moves One Step Closer to Becoming All-Time Leader in Grand Slam Titles
Novak Djokovic defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets to win the 2023 French Open men's singles championship. The victory was Djokovic's 23rd Grand Slam title, moving him ahead of Rafael Nadal for the most in the Open era. Djokovic also became the oldest man to win the French Open since 1972.
Djokovic started the match strong, breaking Ruud's serve in the opening game. He never looked back, winning 6-3, 6-3, 6-0. Djokovic was dominant throughout the match, hitting 35 winners to just 12 unforced errors. He also won 80% of his first-serve points.
Ruud was never able to find his rhythm in the match. He struggled with his serve, double-faulting 11 times. He also made 36 unforced errors.
Djokovic's victory was a remarkable achievement. He had not played a competitive match since losing to Nadal in the quarterfinals of the Italian Open in May. He also had to deal with a stomach virus in the days leading up to the French Open.
Despite the challenges, Djokovic was able to find his best tennis when it mattered most. He won his second French Open title and moved one step closer to becoming the all-time leader in Grand Slam titles.
