«I am happy to share this very special day with you for me: there is a special atmosphere here and Roland Garros has always been the most difficult tournament for me: it is no coincidence that I have reached the record of 23 Grand Slams here» .

Nole Djokovic becomes a legend and wins the tournament that allows him to establish the absolute record of successes in Grand Slam tournaments for a tennis player. He beat Ruud three sets to zero by a score of 7-6, 6-3, 7-5.

"At the age of 7 - he said - I dreamed of becoming the No. 1 in the world: to young people I say live in the present, don't look at the past, and build your daily life to take on the future".

Djokovic, with today's success, is his third victory in the singles 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, belongs to a tennis player, the Australian Margaret 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 number 1 in the world to 388.
