Paris chooses its king. Novak Djokovic And Casper Ruud compete in the final Roland Garros. The 36-year-old Serbian, who beat Alcaraz in the semifinals, is on the hunt for the Slam number 23 of his career in order to detach Nadal and become the player with the most Majors won. The Norwegian, who got rid of Zverev in the semifinals, is in his second consecutive final in Paris (last year he surrendered in three sets to Nadal) and is looking for his first triumph in the most important tournaments in the world. In case of success, Djokovic will be number 1 in the ATP ranking again from Monday.
Djokovic’s records
Novak Djokovic has won Roland Garros twice, in 2016 and 2021. If he triumphs today, he would become the first player to have triumphed at least three times in each Grand Slam (Nole’s palmares includes 10 Australian Opens, 7 Wimbledons and 3 Us Opens). who in the women’s field was joined by Margaret Court, Stefffi Graf and Serena Williams. Success in Paris would allow the 36-year-old Serbian – winner of the Australian Open in January – to remain in the running for the Grand Slam.
