Novak Djokovic is breaking every record, and there is a significant fact that can define him as the GOAT. In the latest edition of Roland Garros, Djokovic obtained perhaps the most important: the 23rd Grand Slam title.
No one in the history of men's tennis has ever reached this figure. However, this is not the only record he achieved by winning the French Open final against Casper Ruud. There is perhaps one date that underlines even more why he is the GOAT. On French clay, in fact, Djokovic won the number three title at the Roland Garros.
In doing so, Novak Djokovic becomes the first tennis player in history to have won every Grand Slam at least three times. 10 Australian Open, 3 Roland Garros, 7 Wimbledon and 3 Us Open.
He was also the first to win every Grand Slam title twice, when in 2021 he captured his second French Open; then reached by Nadal last year, when the Spaniard won the second Australian Open of his career.
This is the data that defines Novak Djokovic the GOATFor these reasons, for the records achieved and conquered, Novak Djokovic has defined the final of this Roland Garros as one of the most important moment of his career.
He told: "One of the most important victories, obviously. I knew that history was at stake today, but I tried to focus my attention and thoughts on preparing for this match in the best possible way, to win like any other match.
I can't say I haven't thought about it, but my team has created a good bubble around me. And of course when I saw his forehand go wide, I felt a huge relief and was overwhelmed with wonderful emotions. Yes, I'm very happy and very proud."
