Former world number one Serbian
Novak Djokovic revealed one Grand Slam triumph, which was special because of the presence of his family
and children. The 37-year-old is regarded as the greatest player in the history
of men’s tennis in the singles category, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam
titles.
Djokovic has been recently quoted in a report where he mentioned
the special feeling of winning Grand Slam number 23. The Belgrade-born star stated
that winning the
French Open in 2023 was a special one because his wife and
kids were present in the arena.
He defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final in
straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3, 7-5. With that triumph, he became the player with the most Grand Slam titles in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, overtaking Spain’s Rafael Nadal, who won 22 major titles in his illustrious career.
"That was the historic 23rd. Important moment,
obviously,” he said. “I had a solid tournament. I would say I played pretty
good, considering, not that great lead up claycourt season I had to Roland
Garros. So I know that in Roland Garros, I play my best tennis on clay, and so
that gave me confidence that I can play my best tennis in Paris. I did,
particularly in the last few matches against Alcaraz, the semis, and he was in
red hot form, but I had very clear tunnel vision of what I need to do and how I
need to approach the match, and I think I played really good tennis there. And
also in the finals, a very solid match against Casper Ruud. That last forehand
that went wide from him, I just fell down on the court on the floor and had my
children there and my wife and whole family. Just, one of the most beautiful
moments I've ever experienced.”
