‘History hovering’ over Djokovic as Slam record beckons FMTNews FMTSports
PARIS: Novak Djokovic admits “history is hovering” over him as he takes on Casper Ruud in the French Open final tomorrow with a men’s record 23rd Grand Slam title tantalisingly close.
“The only thing I can say is that I’m very focused. History is always something that’s hovering over me,” said Djokovic, the 2016 and 2021 winner in Paris and now the oldest finalist in 93 years. “I’m not thinking about a calendar Slam. I’m thinking really just to win another Grand Slam title here on Sunday, and I’m so close. I know it. I know the feeling,” said Djokovic.
Alcaraz admitted that the tension he felt in facing the Serb for the first time in a Grand Slam match caused the body cramps which torpedoed his hopes in the semifinal.“If someone says that he goes onto the court with no nerves playing against Novak, he lies. Tomorrow, the world No 4 will attempt to make sure that all the pressure sits squarely on the shoulders of Djokovic.
