Novak Djokovic Begins French Open Title Defense
Djokovic Secures Comfortable Win in First Round
Novak Djokovic began his French Open title defence with a solid if not spectacular victory over home hope Pierre-Hugues Herbert. The world No 1 won 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 in one hour and 47 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Djokovic's Record-Breaking Victory
Djokovic's win was his record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title, moving him ahead of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. He is now just one behind Margaret Court's all-time record of 24.
The 36-year-old from Serbia has now won two Grand Slams in 2023, having also triumphed at the Australian Open in January.
Conclusion
Djokovic's victory is a further testament to his incredible longevity and dominance in the sport. He is now the only man to have won all four Grand Slams twice in the Open Era.
