Novak Djokovic in the legend: the Serbian tennis player won the Roland Garros tournament, thus establishing the absolute record of successes in Slam tournaments for a tennis player: they are 23, one more than Nadal. Djokovic beat Ruud three sets to nil, 7-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Djokovic, with today's success, is on his third singles victory at Roland Garros, after those of 2016 and 2021. Then there are 10 victories at the Aus Open (2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023), 7 at Wimbledon (2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022), 3 at the US Open (2011, 2015, 2018). Nadal remains at 22 Grand Slams, Federer at 20. The absolute record, however, is of a tennis player, the Australian Margeret Smith Court, with 24 victories in the singles. Djokovic will then return to the top of the ATP rankings, extending his record of weeks as world No. 388 to 1.
'It was my dream, to young people I say take the future' - "I am happy to share with you this very special day for me: here there is a special atmosphere and because Roland Garros has always been the most difficult tournament for me: it is no coincidence that I reached the record of 23 Slams here". Nole Djokovic never stops talking at the end of the award ceremony, in French ("but I'm looking for a professor"), in English then, between jokes, thanks to "Giroud, Ibra, Mbappè and Tom Brady who are here to see us", and a final message. "At the age of 7 I dreamed of becoming No. 1 in the world: I say to young people, live the present, do not look to the past, and build everyday life to take the future".
