Roland-Garros 2024: What was said?
After winning his record 23rd Grand Slam title at Roland Garros last year, Djokovic commented on his historic feat.
He said: “I knew before the tournament, before the match, especially today, there was a story at stake.
“But I try to focus my attention and thoughts on preparing for this match in the best possible way to win, just like any other match.
“Of course, I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about the finish line which is right there and that you still need one match to win a trophy, a historic trophy.”
