Djokovic & Ruud Battle For The Men's Singles Trophy! | Roland-Garros Highlights | Eurosport 

Novak Djokovic having all of the biggest records in tennis is poetic justice. Despite being unfairly villainized, detained and deported, banned from many tournaments, and robbed of ranking points, he stood by his principles and refused to surrender. He is the greatest male tennis of all time.

Even as a Federer fan and also a huge admirer of Rafa Nadal, I have to say Novak Djokovic is the greatest. Give this great champion the respect and the priaise he fully deserves.....and to keep doing this at the age of 36 is just mind blowing.

Sometimes you get justice even in this world. Djokovic did not just deserve it, he earned it. Great man, great player.

Jednostavno najbolji svih vremena!!! Živ i zdrav nam bio!!!

There is no more fitting quote for Nole than "Victory belongs to the most tenacious". After over a decade of waiting, he has finally achieved his dream and become a record champion. Records come and go, but Novak's legacy will remain for eternity. Despite the resistance of the media and the embarrassing crowd that always tried to bring him down, he managed to persevere and break through the phalanx of Roger and Rafa. These obstacles have made him a legend. Thank you for being an inspiration!

Great player, man of principles, family person, very smart, great sense of humor. I love watching him playing, but also enjoy listening to his interviews. Serbian nation can be proud of him. Greetings from Poland 😁

He would've had the Grand Slam record at AO2022 but corruption stopped him. This was a year and a half in the making. No one deserves this success more than Novak Djokovic. A great player and a great man.

Big congratulations for Novak Djoković. He is not only the most successful male player in the history of grand slam tournaments. For me (and I am sure not only for me) he is also a great patriot, a great Serb, who always represented his country and nation with pride and dignity and his motherland has been for him always at the first place next to his family. The Serbian people can be proud of such compatriot like Novak Djoković. Great respect from Poland. Cлава нашој браћи Србима! 🇵🇱🤝🇷🇸

36 years old..what a champion..

Nevermind the greatest tennis player - we seriously need to consider if he's the greatest overall sportsman of his generation. He's THAT great.

Today history was written in tennis. Djokovic has proven he is the biggest and this is mainly through his mental power. I will think about his difficult moments when I need support and he will help me. Thank you Nole for your personality. You are the last one of "three big" and you are the biggest.

The fact that he is better than Fedal was as clear as daylight even before this win, now the true question is how far he can get. This is where the GOAT starts to push the boundaries of what is possible in the sport and he is going where no one has gone before. Theory says he can win Wimbledon and US Open, I hope he can do it.

Mental strength, accuracy of shots, endurance, perfection, beautiful game and beautiful shots are what Djokovic possesses 23...is here..24.....soon....

Железный Серб! С победой ! Молоток!

Djokovic is THE GOAT in sports history. There has never been in the history of sports in any sport that the 3 GOATs play in one generation. AND Djokovic prevailed..........:::::::::::::.........................

When Serbs go hard they change the game & history! Idemo🇷🇸

Djokovic is a man of focus commitment and sheer fu*kin will

The man who rewrote the history of tennis is the great and unsurpassed Novak Djokovic 🇷🇸

When Djokovic gives you the first 3 games, don't take it, it's a trap. He'll win the set and then the match

I am really happy Djokovic won this final. Incredible tennis, incredible willpower, incredible man.

0 unforced errors in tie breaks in this tournament.. Sometimes I think, and I think it's really like that, that he plays with 50-60% and usually that's enough for a set.. And if it's not enough, he just turn on monstrous mood 90 -100% in tie break and that's it. No one will ever reach this tennis perfection, I won't say it's impossible, but it's very, very difficult.. 23 and it doesn't seem like it's going to stop, let's be real, there's still no living being who can get him to the grand slam. Lets go wimbledon!

The GOAT, and probably one of the best athletes in the world.

He never played the nicest tenis, he is not a magician like Federer or a dust warrior like Nadal, but in era of those 2 players (greatest ever) he proved to be even better. An amazing sportsman 👏👏👏 In the end, win or lose, he is on of the sincere players, always shake hands with a smile. In the game and zone, he is a ruthless tennis machine 💣

Bravo Upload.. Casper Well Played - Keep Going.. 11 Slams in his 30's.. Oldest French Open Champion.. The Grand Slam is On..

The best ever tennis 🎾 player of all time congratulations 🎊 novak

Such a domination.....Crazy

The greatest tennis machine EVER 👍🇬🇧

Hate him or love him, but Djokovic is undoubted the best tennis played that has ever lived on this planet

Ноле лучший и величайший🇷🇸💪🥴

The Law of Karma has done its work. He couldn't play in Australia and Rafa reached the 22 GS in Novak's garden. Now Rafa can't play and Novak reached the 23 GS in Rafa's garden !!!. Congratulations Champion, you are simply the best !!!

The great, Djokovic. One of the very greatest sportspersons, that ever lived.

Massive congratulations sir

He is unstoppable, there will be 24 Grand Slam title...and so....they can hate him and whistle as much as they want, but he has already written tennis history, there is no better one and that is a fact!!! Let's go Nole further YOU (WE) ARE THE CHAMPIONS🎾 🔴💙⚪🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴IDEMOOOOO

Поначалу удивил, но за ум взялся и побил рекорд по большакам. Молодчага! Сербам привет. Победил наш.

A man of honour and principles. We all know this should be at least slam 25 by now. Nole is the GOAT despite those who try to stop him. Respect 💪

Великий игрок , великий человек , великий несгибаемый СЕРБ . Низкий поклон за игру , за характер .Ну, что , господа спортивные функционеры ? Обкакались?

Ruud, much like Alcaraz rarely believed he could win that match. The second he lost the first set, he was little more than Djokovic's hitting partner. Djokovic once again showed, skills will get you so far, but Grand Slam tournaments are won and lost in the mind, and why he's won 23 of them.

those line returns are crazy

GOAT. No question anymore.

The tennis Titan has struck again. If only the US open would let him compete, he would win all four slams. He is the real GOAT.

Mind, Heart and Legs 🐺💪🎾

A winner on and off the court.

7:57 I count 5 double steps by Djokovic to set up that forehand. The man's form is a model for all aspiring contenders

Guys....let`s be realistic here....this was not bad at all...but peak Djokovic ist yet to come ;-) Give the man some time to get to his to his maximum level ^^

Is the debate over?? Yes, definitely is!

Jedini i neponovljivi Nole!Svaka čast.

I admire his perseverance. When he had to leave Australia during the Corona pandemic many thought it was over for him, and now he is uncatchably number one referring to the number of Grand Slams.

GOAT

History in the making.

The goat. Unfairly treated and still rose above. A once in a generation talent. Respect to Ruud. But it was inevitable.

Journalists weren't happy about Djokovic winning!!!😂😂

I hated this man for defeating Roger at Wimbledon in 2019!!Now i just admire his mental resolve and hardwork!!GOAT undoubtedly!!I am sure he will win Wimbledon and US open this year!!No one can stop Djokovic!!

As someone who rarely watches tennis , watching nole every year atleast couple of games is just so fun, the guy is just so good at what he is doing, so strong, such an incredible athlete,so leathal, simply the best for me, i admire every game more in the last year cos i understand that the end of his career is getting closer.

Okay, now that we know who the GOAT is, we can start debating who is the second best Nadal or Fed.

Best tennis player ever! Imagine if he was welcome at any GS

Greatest athlete of all time…

Wht an amazing performance

You envious and haters, bow deeply and as far as possible to the G.O.A.T 🇷🇸Djoković

Well now when Nole is a GOAT we can add up Roger 20 and Nadal 22 slams so thats about 65 slams in previous ~18 years which means they all took almost everything. The reign of the Big Three is now full circle. Legendary feat of that generation.

This guy has the greatest mental strength in the history of any sports

So that's what Djokovic improved: he introduced a flat killer-forehand that he's alternating randomly with his top-spin forehand. Hitting the ball flat increases risk for error, but the shot can be so much harder and faster. I trust this new weapon will bring him back to ATP no. 1. Yep, top-spinners: time to learn hit the ball flat. 😀

The Debate is over.

Unvaxxed and the best!! 😁😁😁

woooow, bravo👏👏👏 just wow, tennis in its peak form.. woooow

If Djokovic gives you a chance to play against him on last stages of GS - it is a FINAL trap because he has already extremely enhanced his level.

Well done to novax, he deserves it entirerly

A great performance by Novak. Casper Rudd did well to take it to tiebreak in the first set.

GOATković: A record 23 Grand Slam titles A record 67 Big Titles A record Triple Career Slam A record 10 Australian Open Titles A record 34 Slam Finals Appearances A record 387 Weeks #1 A record 7x Year-end #1 A record tying 6x ATP Finals titles A record 38 Masters1000 titles A record Double Career Golden Masters A record 80+ wins in all 4 slams A record 16,950 ATP pts in a single season A record holder of 4 straight slams at once in 3 different surfaces Only man to beat Federer at Wimbledon Finals 3x Only man to beat Nadal at RG 2x Positive H2H over Federer Positive H2H over Nadal Greatest vs top ten ever. Greatest win percentage in tie breakers Greatest all time returner Greatest 2 hand blackhead ever Greatest offensive to defence ever Greatest mover ever Greatest champion over age 36 Since 2010, GOATković alone has won 22 Grand Slam tournaments, while Nadal and Federer together have won 20. One and only GOAT DJOKOVIC aka GOATkovic

Король что сказать, победа заслуженная

Rudd has a similar style of play as Djokovic, the problem is you cant beat Djokovic using his game style.

Not letting that man play due to his vaccine status is simply a sign of deep deep fear of what he can do on the court and off the court. He deserves this victory more than anybody else. In the future everybody will praise this man for having courage in everything he does.

GOAT.

Imagine telling someone unacquainted with tennis that the guy in orange is 36 years old, 12 years older than the other guy. Just insane. Dominating the tour like this in his 30s is completely unprecedented. Since Wimbledon 2018, his record vs t10 seeds in slams is 25-4. For comparison, Federer from Wimbledon 03- US 07 was 31-4. Difference being of course that Federer was young and fresh and simply too good for the older guys and his contemporaries, whereas Djokovic is beating up guys 10+ years younger than him regularly on every surface. He’s the best ever and I suspect it’ll be indisputable when he retires.

What should have been No. 25

Messi = football god ⚽ Brady = handegg god 🏈 Novak = tennis god 🎾

The question about the greatest of all time was answered by Nole Goatkovic ... next challenge of the question 20 years later (at least)

Novak is "The Superlative."

Thank you Novak!

Left his be(a)st tennis for finals! Just a legend!!

what a player, what a player

He deserved it!

Anyone who knows tennis already knew that Djokovic is the GOAT. This just makes the obvious all the more concrete. Where's the deluded Fedal fans now...

ЧЕЛОВЕЧИЩЕ!!!!

Idemo! 💪

23 GRAND SLAMS - the discussions who the GOAT is, are finaly over - its NOLE ❤️ p.s. dear haters, i hope you gonna sleep well tonight 😉 idemoooo 🇷🇸

I'm not a Djokovic fan but I have to admit that the quality of play and level of fitness at the moment is superhuman 👏

Novak has 5 winning streaks at Grand Slams of 20 or more matches in a row, absolute record. (The second best is Roger with 3 streaks) All Djokovic streaks so far: 2015-2016 - 30 matches 2011-2012 - 27 2021 - 27 2018-2019 - 26 2022-2023 - 21 (ongoing) Viva Nole!

REVENGE, HUGE KISS TO AUSTRALIAN OPEN AND ALL THE HATERS, JUSTICE IS DONE #1 A TRUE MAN

No doubs ... GOAT !!!!!!!!!

Как ни старались англосаксы, но ничего у них не получилось.

GOAT of the GOATs

He’s a robot this chap just something else his accomplishments are crazy

Djokovic is GOAT

Congrats to the man who stood up in darkness and refused that criminal vaccine segregation. At some heavy costs. Dignity and principles always pay off. Here's the time to taste it. Now THAT is true glory. A true moment of satisfaction, even for people not giving a s***t about tennis

semplicemente immenso grande nole

The old goat is dead! LONG LIVE THE GOAT!!!!

I'd say 27 G Slams he will finish on minimum.... Which is really like 29 or 30 (seeing as he missed these 3: USO20, AO22, USO22 ) Minimum: Another 2 AO Another 2 Wimbledons

The pinnacle of he's career? For real? It is the pinnacle of the sport you get your salary from. It is the historic moment in every sense, and all you can say is the pinnacle of he's career? Appalling! Shame on you. Shame on Eurosport! Utterly shameful and bemusing.

1:10 YES!?? Man it's like these Eurosport commentators are against Djokovic in every single match that he plays. Good that Djoker puts them to silence in most cases, just like on that historic day

The greatest man ever playing this sport, admit it or not. Those are just the facts.
