When Djokovic defeated the "king of clay" Nadal in that epic French Open men's singles semi-final, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he set a double-lap Grand Slam record.

Djokovic kisses the trophy

　　Although the hope star Sisipas from Greece has tried his best in this decisive battle, he finally failed to stop Djokovic from writing new history when he reached the Grand Slam final for the first time.

　　Early this morning, Beijing time, in the French Open men's singles final, the world's number one Djokovic completed the reversal after losing two sets first, and finally 6:7 (6), 2:6, 6:3, 6: 2, 6:4, with a big score of 3:2 victory over Sisipas, winning the French Open men's singles championship again after 5 years.

Djokovic lifts the championship trophy

　　So far, Djokovic has become the first men's singles player to win at least twice in the four Grand Slam tournaments since the Open era, achieving a double lap grand slam.

At the same time, Djokovic increased the number of individual Grand Slams to 19, only one short of Federer and Nadal, who are tied for the top spot.

　　As the No. 5 seed in the tournament, the 23-year-old Sisipas is not without a chance.

If he wins the championship, he will become the youngest Grand Slam men's singles champion since Del Potro (20 years old and 355 days) won in the US Open in 2009.

In the "To Turin" annual championship standings, Sisipas even led Djokovic before the final.

Djokovic in the game

　　In this final, Sisipas took the lead in the first set after resolving the opponent's inventory, and then took the second set in just 35 minutes.

However, in a very good situation, Sisipas, who broke into the Grand Slam final for the first time, failed to withstand Djokovic's strong counterattack, and eventually lost three sets in a row, regretting to lose.

　　In this French Open, this is not the first time Djokovic has staged a good show of "letting two chase three". His strong spiritual attributes and ability to withstand pressure have once again helped him tide over the difficulties.

　　After making history again, the Serbian superstar did not indulge in celebration, and the honor of the double lap grand slam was calmly taken into his arms.

Djokovic celebrates victory

　　"In the face of such a good player, winning the championship is a difficult task. In the past 3 days, I have suffered mental and physical tests. Now, my dream has finally come true." Xiaode said frankly in Roland Garros ( It is his dream to win the trophy at the French Open. "You have to invest 100% every day and try to find motivation. This is the effort of the entire team. I am happy and proud."

　　Regarding Sisipas, Djokovic is not hesitating to praise, he believes that the star of hope in Greece will receive a lot of Grand Slam honors in the future.

And Sisipas said after the game, “It’s not easy. We dedicated a great game and I tried my best. I played well in the first two sets and I am very satisfied with my performance. Djokovic is a great player. Great champion, I hope one day I can achieve half of his achievements."

Djokovic and Sisipas

　　Including the Grand Slam, Masters, Finals and Olympics, this is the 60th major event of Djokovic's career, ahead of Nadal's 57 and Federer's 54.

　　Of Djokovic’s 19 Grand Slam honors so far, the Australian Open has 9 of them, followed by 5 at Wimbledon, then 3 US Opens and 2 French Opens.

In other words, if Djokovic can achieve re-election in the French Open in the coming year, he will promote the double-lap grand slam to a more brilliant three-lap grand slam.

　　Xiaode once said frankly that raising the number of Grand Slams and the number of the first week in the world to the highest in history are the two ultimate goals of his career.

Now he has achieved the latter and the former is also very promising.

Behind the double lap grand slam and the double lap gold master, Djokovic continues to walk on the road of creating more history.
