Who will be the big winner of the 2023 edition of Roland Garros? Novak Djokovic (3rd in the world) and Casper Ruud (4th in the world) face off on the court Philippe-Chatrier Sunday, June 11. The Serbian legend wants to clinch a 23rd Grand Slam title, while the Norwegian dreams of winning his first major title. Follow our live.
Novak Djokovic wants to make history. In case of victory, the Serb will clinch his 23rd Grand Slam victory, the men’s singles record. He will overtake his rival Rafael Nadal, who holds 22. He will also become world number 1 again.
Casper Ruud “hopes the third will be the right one”. Finalist last year, the 24-year-old Norwegian was swept away by the king of Roland-Garros, Rafael Nadal. He was then beaten in the final of the US Open by the gifted young Carlos Alcaraz. The task promises to be just as difficult on Sunday. “Last year it was Rafa, this time it’s Novak, the two best… I won’t be the favourite, so I’ll try my best”he explained.
Casper Ruud has never won a set against Novak Djokovic. The statistics speak clearly in favor of the Serb. The two players have met four times, including twice on clay (the last was in 2022). Result: four wins to zero for the “Djoker”.
Iga Swiatek big winner of the women’s final. The Polish won her third Roland-Garros title on Saturday against the Czech Karolina Muchova after a fierce battle. Iga Swatiek, world number 1, came out 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 after 2:46 of the match, on a double fault from her opponent. “I will no longer doubt my strength”said the Polish to AFP after his victory.
