Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis star, has reclaimed the top spot in the ATP rankings after securing his 23rd Grand Slam title.
In a thrilling final at the French Open 2023 in Paris, Djokovic defeated Casper Ruud with a score of 7-6, 6-3, 7-5.
With this latest victory, Djokovic once again reigns as the number one player in the world.
Surpassing Rafael Nadal’s record, he now holds the most Grand Slam titles in men’s tennis history.Djokovic’s remarkable collection of 23 Grand Slam titles includes 10 Australian Open championships, 7 Wimbledon victories, 3 US Open triumphs, and 3 Roland Garros successes.
During the trophy ceremony, Ruud praised Djokovic’s extraordinary achievements, stating, “Another day, another record for you. And another day you rewrite tennis history. It’s tough to explain how incredible it is and how good you are, and what an inspiration you are to so many people around the world. Congratulations to you and your team.
“Last month, Djokovic briefly surrendered his top ranking to Carlos Alcaraz following the Spaniard’s triumph at the Madrid Open.
However, Djokovic’s triumph at the French Open catapulted him back to the pinnacle of men’s tennis.
At the age of 36 years and 20 days, Djokovic made history once again by becoming the oldest winner in the history of the French Open. He also holds the distinction of being the only male player to have won each of the four majors on at least three occasions.
Incredibly, Djokovic has emerged victorious in the past three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments he has participated in, with his absence from the US Open last year due to the travel restrictions imposed on unvaccinated visitors by the United States.
Djokovic’s remarkable achievements continue to solidify his status as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, inspiring fans worldwide and leaving an indelible mark on the sport.
