Novak Djokovic tied Serena Williams with 23 career major singles titles and is just one behind Australian Margaret Court for most ever. The Serbian has already made his case as one of the best ever – and he's likely not done yet. ✍️ rustindodd
On the day Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title, defeating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of the 2008 Australian Open, Rafael Nadal, his contemporary and henceforth rival, had already claimed three. Nadal — born June 3, 1986 — is only 353 days older than Djokovic, but he was a precocious bloomer at the slams, winning his first French Open title just days after turning 19, and after Djokovic broke through in 2008, the disparity only widened.
In the weeks before the sport’s annual pilgrimage to Roland Garros, as the clay court season commenced, the biggest question on the men’s side was whether 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, was ready to compete with Djokovic at a Grand Slam.Alcaraz won his first Grand Slam at last year’s U.S. Open, when Djokovic was barred from traveling to New York for the tournament due to his unvaccinated status.
