Novak Djokovic:
“God is always there, you need to pray to angels for protection & help in moments when you need a bit of luck. I believe in divine intervention, but I also believe I’m pulling the strings – it depends on me what my life will look like & the outcome of my matches” pic.twitter.com/hhttC1ZgaV

The first set carried top-quality performances from both players as the set proceeded towards a tie-breaker.
Djokovic initially trailed by 1-4 in the tiebreaker, but from that point, he produced some of his refined shots to clinch the set in a 13-minute triumph.
In the second set, he showcased his prowess against his opponent with a dominant 6-3 victory to clinch the second set.
In the third set, Rudd made a comeback but it wasn’t enough as the Serbian extend his lead to claim his record-breaking title.
With this victory, the three-time French Open winner will reclaim the No. 1 spot from Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP Rankings. He surpassed Rafael Nadal as the oldest Roland Garros champion at the age of 36 years and 20 days and with this victory, he became the first man to win all four Grand Slam events at least three times.
