Djokovic Wins 23rd Grand Slam Title
History is made again and sports headlines are in a buzz as Novak Djokovic wins 23rd Grand Slam title. This, if anything, proves that Djokovic is one of the best athletes, not just in tennis, but in the world of sport. The 25-year-old player beat Casper Rudd 7-6 (7/1), 6-3, 7-5, winning his 3rd French Open title.
Djokovic now surpasses the previous record holder, Rafael Nadal, who has 22 titles under his belt. If you believe in common sports betting beliefs, you will find it an amazing feat for Djokovic to win his historic title, given that the French Open has always been a crutch for him. He has, after all, historically always had a hard time nabbing the title in this tournament.
Djokovic Wins 23rd Grand Slam Title
Will Djokovic manage to convert his success in the grass, when he next plays in Wimbledon? This is the question many sports bettors are very excited about. If you want to make money out of this question, then you can check these sportsbook reviews and find a sportsbook to place bets on. If Djokovic wins Wimbledon next month, he will be able to beat Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles. Aside from Djokovic, Court and Serena Williams are the only players to have 23 Grand Slam titles.
In addition, Djokovic is also the first man to win all four majors at least three times each. He is also halfway to what could be the first calendar grand slam since Rod Laver back in 1969. Despite his age, he seems to be on the top of his game. He is the oldest player to win a French Open championship. And looking at his history, 11 of his Grand Slams were made after he turned 30.
Djokovic will now reclaim the World Number 1 rank from Carlos Alcaraz. This will be his 388th week in the top spot in the sport. Given his ability to win in both the clay and the grass, we will not be surprised to see Djokovic headlining tennis news throughout the year, and in the years to come.
