Djokovic wins men’s record 23rd Grand Slam to surpass Nadal

Novak Djokovic has emerged champion of the 2023 French Open after defeating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final in Paris on Sunday.

36-year-old Djokovic was far from his best in the initial stages but his quality in a first-set tie-break laid the platform for a 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 7-5 victory.

The Serb’s victory at Roland Garros broke the tie with Rafael Nadal for the most men’s Grand Slam titles.
