Over the years, the men’s tennis’s ‘Bade Teen’ – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic – have hoisted the Grand Slam, each has crowned their own reasons as the greatest male player.
Now, with Federer’s retired and Nadal injuries, Djokovic has the opportunity to stake his claim in that united debate and win a record 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open on Sunday, which currently works with Nadal.
Casper Rud standing on the way to Djokovic, now reached three of the last five Grand Slam finals, including Rolland Garos in the last year’s final, where he was disintegrated by Nadal 6-3 6-3 6-0.
If Djokovic can win on Sunday, he will also return to the top of the world rankings and will become the first male player to win each Grand Slam tournament at least three times. Such pressure, however, is familiar with Serb, he said after his semi -final win.
According to ATP Tour, “History is always something that is hovering over me, but I am very happy to write the history of this game.” “I am just thinking about winning the next match.
“Pressure is always on my shoulders, so it is not separate.
This has been a relatively straightforward route for the final for Djokovic, as it has just dropped two sets – against Karen Khachanov in a quarter -finals and against the number 1 seed Carlos Alkaraz in a semi -finals.
The match against Alkaraz was billed as a classic, but in the end, Djokovic won the young spaniad at the beginning of the third set after winning the cramp after winning, a set with the match was finely designed in a set epis.
Serb has been incompatible at the Grand Slam over the last three years, the Nadal has been damaged in the French Open last year, with only the only defect in the Major in which he is able to compete.
But the lining against such a prominent player is a familiar position for Rudd as he faces an opponent who demands to break or expand his record Grand Slam title for the second consecutive year.
“Last year it was against Rafa, this year it is against Novak, so what can you say?” I have become a Dalit person like today, playing without too much emotion, just try to enjoy. ”
The 24 -year -old Norwegian has never won a set against Djokovic, lost all its matches, and that the Gulf ensures that he will walk in court as a Dalit, although he can now draw two previous Grand Slams to the experience of final demonstrations.
According to the ATP tour, Rood said, “It is going to be difficult, of course,” according to the ATP Tour, Rood said. “He is playing for his 23rd.
“I think last year (against Nadal) was my mindset, and it was not in my way.
Despite coming to the tournament after a mixed start in the season, Rud got his form, first won against a top -10 player at a Grand Slam, when he defeated Holler Run in the quarter -finals, and destroyed Alexander Zaverev in the semi -finals.
He would galvanize Rud before the semi -final performance final, as he wants to disturb the obstacles and take the first Grand Slam title.
