Serbia’s Novak Djokovic beat Norway’s Casper Ruud in the straight sets to win his 23rd Grand Slam at the French Open 2023 in Paris on Sunday (June 11). Djokovic won the final 7-6, 6-3 and 7-5 and as a result will now regain his world number 1 ranking for the record 388th week. This happens to be Djokovic’s third Roland Garros title, having emerged as the champions in Paris twice prior to his victory on Sunday. Djokovic was world number 3 heading into this competition but will now be back at the numero uno position and is almost guaranteed to divide the tennis fans on the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) debate having added another major title to his long list of achievements.

As far as Ruud is concerned, the 24-year-old did give his senior opponent a tough fight forcing the first set into a decider. However, Djokovic proved to be too difficult an opponent for him at the Roland Garros as the Serb showed his class yet again on a big day and did not give an inch to his opponent, showing his desperation for a win.
