2023 is also passing by with the leaps and bounds, sighs and sighs on the playing field from many parts of the world touching the heart. While Neeraj Chopra conquered the world once once more, Kohli, Djokovic, Alcaraz and Messi all amazed the world in 2023. The world stood in wonder at the eighteen-year-old Pragnananda. So 2023 was eventful for the world of sports.
The year of Djokovic
2023 also witnessed Djokovic’s single-handed reign on the tennis court. The player with the most Grand Slam titles in the Open era. Djokovic walked to the top of the world. Djokovic achieved the historic feat by defeating Medvedev in the US Open final. Australia’s Margaret Court has won 24 Grand Slams but it is in the pre-open era. Djokovic now needs one more Grand Slam title to surpass Margaret Court. Djokovic holds the record for the most Grand Slam titles by a male player. Djokovic is also the oldest player to win the US Open. Before the US Open, Djokovic won Roland Garros and Australian Open in 2023.
The birth of a new age
2023 also saw a Spaniard declare himself the new king of tennis by knocking out history-making Djokovic for his 24th Grand Slam. Djokovic, who was chasing the title at Wimbledon, was beaten by twenty-year-old Carlos Alcarez in a five-set battle. There was an announcement that the way for change was also prepared in Pulcourt. Roger Federer has retired. Nadal is struggling with injuries. With this, many thought things would be easy for Djokovic. But Djokovic’s hands didn’t have the speed to break Alcarez’s serve. After writing history on the clay court in 2022, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic on the pool court with the victory flag.
Once once more, India is in trouble
A world title following 2011. 2003 World Cup final debt to pay. But once once more, 2023 was the year when India fell short of that dream. They went unbeaten in all the nine games they played and reached the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the Kiwis were defeated in the finals. Expectations were also high following seeing that 10-game unbeaten streak. Fans dreamed that Rohit would lead India to that world title like Dhoni. But Australia, who is a world-class player in knockout competitions, repeated that routine once once more. Aussies crushed India’s dreams on the strength of Travis Head’s century. There were moments in this world cup that the cricket world will always keep in its heart. Max Well’s batting without footwork. That fireworks and incredible win once morest Afghanistan. Muhammad Shami came to the team as a substitute and took a wicket. Angelo Mathews dismissed for late arrival at the crease.
Neeraj on top of the world
2023 also saw India’s golden boy throw the javelin to another historic achievement. Neeraj Chopra also made it to India’s Yass World Athletics Championships. Neeraj became the first Indian athlete to win gold in the World Athletic Championship. Neeraj’s javelin throw of 88.17 meters in Budapest brought a chill to the nation’s parched athletic dreams. Neeraj reached that historic achievement in his second throw. Here, Neeraj also achieved the extraordinary feat of winning gold in the Olympics and the World Athletic Championships.
Legend on American soil
2023 is the year that the fans who were waiting for Messi’s return to Barca were disappointed. The decision of the Argentine legend was to join the American MLS. Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia’s strategy to acquire Messi by throwing money did not bear fruit. Messi’s arrival at David Beckham’s club announced that money is not everything. But the big question in the football world was whether that decision went wrong. The reason for that was the state of Inter Miami, which was sinking from defeat to defeat. But the legend amazed the fans from American soil by scoring and hitting. On the strength of Messi, Inter Miami reached the League Cup final for the first time. Messi became the heroic hero in the final. Inter Miami won the Kanni Leagues Cup. The number of Messi’s career titles is forty-four.
Chariot race of Satvik and Chirag
2023 also saw the Indian men’s team make a winning run in badminton doubles. Satwik Sairaj and Chirag Shetty were the backbone of India. The combination of Satwik and Chirag won the Swiss Open, Indonesian Open and Korean Open. Having won the Badminton Asian Championship and the doubles title, this alliance did not disappoint in the Asian Games. Satvik and Chirag celebrated 2023 by becoming the first doubles alliance to top the world badminton rankings.
Wrestling stars without giving up
The medals won from Goda brought the country’s pride to Vanola. 2023 also witnessed the nation’s favorite stars going to the Ganges to receive these medals. The country narrowly escaped the shame of a flood of medals. In the situation where no action has been taken once morest Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, the actors have taken that tough hand. Had it not been for the intervention of farmer leaders, the country would have bowed before the world.
Throwing money Saudi
2023 is the year that the football world saw the money of Saudi Arabia. When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia in 2022, it was not expected that so many stars would follow. When Neymar arrived at Al Hilal, players including Benzema, Firmino, Mane and Kante moved to Saudi Arabia.
India wins in Hangzhou
107 medals. Indian sports players returned home from Hangzhou by writing history. This is India’s best medal chase in Asian Games history. Indian athletes won 28 gold, 38 silver and 41 bronze medals. India has won the most medals in athletics. India’s athletes won gold in the men’s relay and silver in the women’s relay in Hangzhou. India won 29 medals in athletics. India has bagged 22 medals in shooting. Hangzhou also witnessed India win gold in horse racing following 42 years. India reached the medal for the first time in the history of Asian Games badminton doubles. Satvik and Chiragum wrote the new history.
King Collie
A record that the cricket world thought no one would ever reach. But following Tendulkar, there was a man in the Indian jersey who was accustomed to rewriting history. Virat Kohli touched the mountain of centuries. That too made Sachin a real witness. For the first time in the five-decade long history of ODI cricket, a man scored a half-century. The awaited moment came when Kohli took his three-figure score once morest New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final at Wankhede. Kohli also snatched the record of highest run scorer in a World Cup from Sachin.
India has many achievements in 2023. But the Indian sports world ends 2023 on a low note. Sakshi Malik, the country’s proud star, has to announce his retirement. As the celebrations settled down at Brijbhushan’s residence following his victory in the wrestling federation elections, the nation saw heartbroken wrestlers just kilometers away. That blue shoe that Sakshi Malik placed on top of the table is a question to the nation’s conscience. Expectations are high in 2024, including the Tokyo Olympics and the Twenty20 World Cup. But the nation must answer to the tearful Sakshi Malik and others. Chances of that happening in 2024 are also slim. But let 2024 lead to miracles..
