Novak Djokovic came back from two sets down against Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim the Roland Garros title in a performance which displayed a determined, resilient and winning mentality.
The 34-year-old Djokovic had a mountain to climb after losing the first two sets 7-6 and 6-2, before he channelled his fighting spirit to win the final three sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.
World number one Djokovic is known for struggling to deal with the clay surface, and had only won the French Open on one previous occasion in 2016 against Andy Murray. Fighting back to earn this victory on clay will surely prove to be one of his finest title wins in his career.
With this victory, Djokovic became the first man to win at least two of every major Grand Slam tournament.
With a 2-0 set lead, the Greek Tsitsipas looked well on his way to winning his first Grand Slam, but the 22 year old will without a doubt take this experience at such a young age positively, and become a name to remember in years to come.
The youngster showed tremendous heart and put on a finale that will no doubt go down in history. He did something that not many people have been able to do, and that is push Djokovic to the limit.
The Serbian tennis star claimed his 19th Grand Slam title which puts him within one off the record for most Grand Slam victories. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal share the record for most Grand Slam titles, at 20.
