Djokovic began to dominate the competition for the first man in tennis history, and in the 2023 French Open men's singles final, Djokovic defeated Ruud 3-0 to win his third French Open title and his 23rd Grand Slam title. At this point, Deyo officially threw off Nadal's 22 titles, becoming the player with the most Grand Slam titles in tennis history, and firmly ranked first in the world.
Deyo's achievements today have not been easy, he won his first Grand Slam title in 2008, when Federer already had 13 Grand Slam titles in hand. But Deyo then played catch-up, winning three Grand Slam titles in a single season in 2011, maintaining better consistency, approaching Feiner step by step, then achieving a tie, and finally overtaking it.
Another tennis legend, Nadal, after witnessing Deyo win his 23rd title, sent a congratulatory message, showing sympathy, Nadal said: "Congratulations to Novak (Djokovic) for achieving this amazing achievement. (Grand Slam) 23 crowns were unimaginable numbers a few years ago, and you do it now! Please enjoy this honorable moment with your family and team! ”
Nadal is currently plagued by injuries and is in recuperation mode, but Natto has no plans to retire and wants to continue fighting, so Nadal has a chance to impact the Grand Slam title again in the future, and his competition with Deyo has not yet ended, and the battle for the first man in history is still in suspense.
In terms of age, Nadal is 37 years old and Djokovic is 36 years old, both are at the end of their careers, but at the moment Deyo is healthier and more competitive!
But no matter who ends up with more Grand Slam titles, Deyo and Nadal are the first candidates in tennis history, and they and Federer have contributed to an unparalleled era for tennis fans, and it is unimaginable that three legendary tennis players compete in one era! Deyo + Nadal + Federer, the total number of Grand Slam titles of these three is 65, and in the future, when later people mention this era, Federer, Nadal and Deyo will be the simplest and most direct representatives!
