This is an unprecedented final that will come to close this Roland-Garros 2023. Sunday, June 11, Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud will compete to try to succeed Rafael Nadal. For the Serb, world number 3, it will be his seventh meeting to try to lift the Mousquetaires Cup. A challenge he has already achieved twice. Opposite, Casper Ruud will seek, for his part, to prevent his opponent from gleaning a 23rd Grand Slam title and affording himself a first coronation at Porte d’Auteuil. A high-level shock to close a fortnight marked by the absence of rain. Unless this one points the tip of his nose on the day of the final meeting?
Novak Djokovic is one win away from becoming the only man to win 23 Grand Slam titles. After beating Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals and picking up the 90th victory of his career at Roland-Garros, the Serbian advanced for the seventh time in his career to the final of the tournament on Friday, defeating the world number one Spanish, Carlos Alcaraz, diminished by a calf injury from the third set, in the semi-final. The 36-year-old Serbian won 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in 3:23. For two sets, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz put on a top performance before the 20-year-old Spanish phenom suffered an injury. For the Serb, this qualification in the final is the opportunity to win a third title on Parisian clay, in the absence of Rafael Nadal. In the event of victory, he would join the French René Lacoste, Ivan Lendl, the Swede Mats Wilander and the Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten on the list.
In the final, he will face Casper Ruud. The Norwegian disgusted Alexander Zverev in three sets and 2:09 of play, this Friday, in the semi-final. Third final in the last five Grand Slam tournaments for Ruud, who will try to get his first title in a Major on Sunday. He will play his second consecutive final at Porte d’Auteuil. Novak Djokovic will necessarily leave with a favorite status. The two men have already faced each other four times in the past, for as many victories for the Serb. Worse, Casper Ruud has never managed to win a single set against Novak Djokovic.
The men’s final of this 2023 edition of the unmissable tennis tournament will take place on the Philippe-Chatrier court on Sunday, June 11 “not before 3 p.m.”, indicates the competition site. The exact start time of this final will depend on the end time of the women’s doubles final, which will start from 11:30 am on this same court.
As every year, it will be possible to follow this men’s final live on the channels of the France Télévisions group, as well as on Amazon Prime Video if you have the necessary subscription.
