Boris Becker congratulates Novak Djokovic on winning his 23rd Grand Slam title
Novak Djokovic achieved a historic milestone by winning his 23rd Grand Slam title at the 2023 French Open, surpassing Rafael Nadal's record (22). He outclassed Casper Ruud to secure his third Roland-Garros crown.
After an impeccable performance in the tie-break of the opening set, the Serb swiftly distanced himself from Ruud, ultimately triumphing with a convincing 7-6(1), 6-3, 7-5 victory.
Following the match, Boris Becker, the ex-coach of the 23-time Grand Slam winner, congratulated him on Instagram, writing:
"Lion King, @djokernole, you did it. And how you did it - with confidence, skill and style. Biggest congrats for your record breaking 23rd #grandslam title @rolandgarros. What an outstanding achievement, considering where you come from."
The German went on to say that he is proud to have been a part of Djokovic's team and to have helped him win six Majors out of 23. He added that he is looking forward to seeing the Serb compete at the Wimbledon Championships in 2023.
"I am proud to have been part of your team winning six of those 23 together. Moreover, I am thrilled about what's coming next for you: With @wimbledon calling you're surely not done yet. Keep it up and see you soon, 'Schatzi'," Boris Becker wrote.
