Ruud started off strong on Court-Philippe Chatrier, but Djokovic ultimately prevailed to secure his historic victory. Despite trailing 1-4 in the tie-break, the third seed managed to win the first set. Djokovic then showcased some of his best hitting in the second and third sets, leading to a three-hour, 13-minute victory. This win also made Djokovic the oldest Roland Garros champion at the age of 36 years and 20 days, surpassing Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic quickly gained momentum after stopping Ruud's early assault, increasing his advantage in their ATP Head2Head series to 5-0. The Serbian won an impressive 80% (59/74) of the points after his first serve, while outshining the fourth seed with 52 hits to Ruud's 31.
Although Ruud fought valiantly, he was unable to maintain his brilliant start. After 4-3 in the first set, the 24-year-old, who had previously advanced to the finals of both the US Open and Roland Garros in 2022, struggled to earn more than two points in a return game as Djokovic relentlessly thwarted his opponent's attempts to rally.
Before this achievement, Djokovic was one of only four men to have a Double Career Slam, alongside legends such as Emerson, Laver, and Nadal. However, with this latest win, he has elevated himself to a historic class all his own.
