Novak Djokovic pursued Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for quite some time. They were the guys he measured himself against. The players who established the standards he sought to surpass. Know more:
Neither Federer nor Nadal will be at Roland Garros, racket in hand and ready to present a challenge, of course.
Federer stopped at 20; entering Sunday, Djokovic and Nadal are tied at 22. The only players in tennis history to exceed that number are Serena Williams, whose 23 are the most in the Open era, and Margaret Court, whose 24 came in part during the amateur era. Ruud is 0-2 so far, and both losses came in 2022: against Nadal at Roland Garros, and against Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open.“It’s just a matter of not thinking, like, I ‘need’ to win this match. … This is a word that I try to sort of avoid.
