As per the officials, the prize pool was increased to ensure equal distribution.

However, Gauff benefitted from the final, too, as it added enough points for her to jump to number 4 by October 2022.
<h2>Most titles won by a player at the Roland Garros</h2>
Rafael Nadal holds the record number of titles at the French Open, including the time before the Open Era. Out of the 18 French Opens he has played, the Spaniard has won it 14 times. Along with the astounding trophy haul, Nadal also holds a record of an incredible 112 wins in Roland Garros, becoming the only player to have such an overwhelming win record in one Major.?

Although Nadal has a tendency to prevail on clay, his opponents do not go down without a fight. Some of his most memorable matches on clay have come against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and John Isner. Against Djokovic, Rafa looked at his best in 2014 and 2013. Their 2014 bout went up to five sets, and the final set saw one of his most intense performances, which saw 16 games being played. The 2013 match was the final and had Djoker as the favorite in the first set. But Nadal found his rhythm in the second set and won the tournament.

Nadal won against Federer in 2006 in four sets of 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6. Federer's astounding win in the first set, along with his fiery demeanor in the fourth set, made people believe that Nadal's streak would end. However, the Spaniard gave a glimpse of his prowess in the red dirt of Paris.

All of his records at the clay major rightfully earned him the nickname 'The King of Clay'. But news of him competing in the tournament this year remains doubtful. So far, he has missed the entire clay season due to an injury. This would be a first as Nadal has never missed any French Opens in his career. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-amid-rising-doubts-over-his-return-thirty-six-year-old-rafael-nadals-badly-affected-ranking-takes-the-spotlight-as-french-open-receives-open-advice-from-american-doubles-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">His participation in the 2023 French Open is doubtful,</a> and it looks like his appearance record might finally come to an end this year.?

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements 2023 Novak Djokovic Wimbledon 2023 The Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic set out to play a final that the entirety of the world had dreamt of for the past few months. Since the rise of Carlos Alcaraz, everyone wanted to watch a showdown between the two. They eventually met in the final of Wimbledon, which seemed to be in Djokovic&#8217;s favor. After the Serbian won the first set 6-1, he would lose two sets continuously, which made the score 6-1, 6-7(6), 1-6.

Alcaraz won the fifth set and showed why he topped the Pepperstone ATP rankings. After the gruesome match, Djokovic&#8217;s speech contained much praise for his opponent of the day. However, as he looked up at his son smiling in the stands, he could not compose himself anymore.? Djokovic cried and, as he gained composure, said, &#8220;I love you. Thank you for supporting me. I&#8217;ll give you a big hug &amp; we can all love each other. Thank you.&#8221; Novak Djokovic French Open Feat 2023 After a fantastic start to 2023, Djokovic seemed to falter. Not winning any back-to-back tournaments would not raise an eyebrow for any other player. But for Djokovic, it can become a big deal. The former World No.1 did not win any tournaments following the Australian Open. His best record was making it to the semifinal in the Dubai Tennis Championships.

In the Italian Open, he reached the quarterfinal but lost to Holger Rune. With the Djoker enduring a slump in form, many didn&#8217;t consider him to be a favorite for the French Open title. To worsen his odds, Nole was suffering from an injury prior to the clay season. But he would prove all of his doubters wrong as he went past each player with ease, only dropping two sets on his way to the final. In the final, he went on to win against Casper Ruud in straight sets. After lifting the trophy, he went one step above Nadal in the all-time grand slam race. Novak Djokovic Australian Open 2023- A victorious hardcourt season The Djoker began this year with an impressive win in the Adelaide International. He won the tournament while dropping just one set throughout the entire tournament. After that, it was time to reclaim his throne on the hard courts of Melbourne after an absence of one year. In 2022, Djokovic was deported from Australia as he failed to comply with vaccination rules.? This year, the event became a topic of discussion as the country had relaxed its vaccine rules which allowed Djokovic to play in the tournament.

The Serbian ranks 23rd in the Forbes list of the world&#8217;s highest-paid athletes. Novak Djokovic early life Novak Djokovic began playing tennis when he was just four years old. Amidst difficult circumstances growing up, Djokovic still ended up as the best under-14 player from Europe and went on to shine the brightest on the ATP tour. The Serbian won his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open as a 21-year-old. Coming to his personal life, Djokovic started dating Jelena Ristic in 2005, and the couple got engaged in 2013. A year later, they got married in &#8216;Sveti Stefan&#8217;, a hotel resort in Montenegro. The couple has two children &#8211; Stefan and Tara Djokovic. His parents are professional skiers, and his?brothers are professional tennis players. All of them are based in Serbia. Novak Djokovic&#8217;s tennis career (2001-2023) Djokovic started out on a successful path by becoming Europe&#8217;s top-ranked under-14 player and was also part of Serbia&#8217;s Junior Davis Cup event. His best record from the junior tour came at the Australian Open, where he reached the semifinals in 2004. Having been considered a player who made regular appearances in the semifinals at slams, Djokovic found his first major title at the 2008 Australian Open. 2011 was the year when the Serbian star truly started his dominance against two of his biggest rivals -?Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Both these opponents frequently met Djokovic and were defeated by the Serb on most occasions. The Serb&#8217;s dominance continued even in 2021, where he won three Grand Slam titles and came close to winning an unprecedented Calendar Slam at the US Open.

He had to withdraw from the Australian Open. He found himself eliminated in the French Open in the quarterfinal. But he would maintain his Wimbledon streak as he won the title against Nick Kyrgios. Following the theme of the first slam, he had to withdraw from the US Open due to vaccination rules.? In 2023, Djokovic would shine even brighter than before. Starting the year with a 10th Australian Open title meant that he now equaled Rafa&#8217;s record. After the event, he would win the French Open for the third time and make it his 23rd grand slam, officially the most in men&#8217;s singles. Unfortunately, he would lose his winning streak in Wimbledon as he lost against Carlos Alcaraz in the final.? Rivalries Over the years, Djokovic had numerous rivalries on-court against top-tier players. But, his match-ups against Federer, Nadal, and Andy Murray always enthralled fans and turned out to be engaging to watch. Out of the three big opponents Djokovic has had over the years, it was his rivalry with Nadal that stands out. The duo played 59 matches against each other on the ATP tour, and Djokovic leads the tally by winning 30 contests.

Coming to Djokovic&#8217;s rivalry with Federer, it can be considered one of the most entertaining rivalries on the ATP tour. The duo had numerous close battles, but it is the Serb who takes the pivotal lead once again. Both Federer and Djokovic played 50 times on tour, with Djokovic winning 27 matches. Their most recent contest came in the semifinals of the 2020 Australian Open. Djokovic easily defeated Federer in straight sets. Against Murray, Djokovic had a rather comfortable rivalry as he was clearly the dominating player whenever they entered a tennis court. There were instances where Murray took control, but overall, it was the Serbian star who led the head-to-head with 25 victories compared to Murray&#8217;s 11.
