A win over Ruud would push Djokovic past tennis legend Rafael Nadal for the most grand slam singles titles. Nadal won 14 French Open titles. Djokovic entered Sunday as a two-time winner of this tournament, with his last title coming in 2021.
Djokovic won the Australian Open in January, so if he wins at Roland Garros, his quest to complete the grand slam in 2023 will stay alive.
