There is no one to stop Novak Djokovic, brilliant in 2023 where he has won three Grand Slams (Australian Open, Roland Garros, US Open) and two Masters 1000, the one in Cincinnati and, as of this Sunday, the one in Paris.
The Serbian won with great superiority (6-4, 6-3) over the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, who ended in tears of pure helplessness after the superb tennis of his rival, cheered by the public, without even having a breaking point against him. a Djokovic who closed the victory in one hour and 38 minutes.
He suffered a lot in the previous rounds, where Rublev, Rune y Greek track They always took him to the abyss of the third set, but they didn’t do it against the Bulgarian, always in the lead, always deadly. Furthermore, at Paris-Bercy, he added his 40th title (Nadal has 36 and Federer 28) and his sixth this year, his best record since 2016, where he added seven.
His triumph in Gallic lands also allows him to distance himself from Carlos Alcaraz, his immediate pursuer in the race for world number one. The Spaniard has not quite gotten his bearings (defeats in Beijing, Shanghai and Paris) and the Serbian has not missed the opportunity. In fact, Alcaraz was the last to knock down Djokovic, in the Wimbledon final in July. Since then, the Balkan has been king.
“Thank you very much, you are the best crowd in the world,” the number 1 joked in French, in reference to the encouragement his rivals received this week when they faced him. «The relationship has been, we can say, special, but thank you anyway. “Because of that energy that was created, I am here,” he added at the trophy presentation.
