Novak Djokovic breaks more tennis records with a defeat of Casper Ruud to win his 23rd grand slam title at the French Open.
Since claiming his first at the Australian Open in 2008, Djokovic has been pursuing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal through the history books but now he has surpassed both, having broken the record he jointly held with Nadal.
The Serbian, meanwhile, also becomes the first man ever to win at least three slam titles at all the major tournaments — a measure of his all-round greatness. Ruud came out sharp but it was only a question of time before Djokovic made his move and it came at 5-5, a series of superlative groundstrokes earning him the break, and moments later his moment of history.
