Last Sunday Novak Djokovic became the most decorated Grand Slam singles champion in the history of men’s tennis.

 

In the final of the French Open, he defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets to capture his 23rd major title at the age of 36. The Serbian has also become the first man to have won every Grand Slam tournament on three or more occasions, as well as the oldest to win the French Open trophy. Outside of the major events, he is also the only one to have won every Masters 1000 trophy.

Djokovic’s latest triumph has reignited the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) debate once again with some pundits believing he should have this accolade. However, it can be argued that giving a player such a label is almost impossible to do due to the different eras of tennis. Perhaps it is more fair to rank the world No.1 as the greatest player of this current period but not the GOAT?

Saturday at The All England Club saw a new Grand Slam champion be crowned.

 

Marketa Vrondrousova stunned Ons Jabeur 6-4, 6-4, to become the first unseeded women’s champion in history. The Czech’s stunning run comes 12 months after she was sidelined from the tournament due to wrist surgery. What is even more remarkable is the fact that she had only ever won two Tour-level matches on the grass before this year.

Meanwhile, Jabeur has described her latest loss as the most painful of her career. It is the second year in a row where she has had to settle for runner-up, as well as last year’s US Open. Jabeur produced a series of costly unforced errors which proved pivotal to the outcome of the match. Did nerves got the better of her? She was bidding to become the first African woman to win a major title.

Tennis Hall of Famer Steve Flink analyzes this year’s Wimbledon final alongside Ubitennis founder Ubaldo Scanagatta. The two also look ahead to the mouthwatering clash between world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.
