It was another French Open for the history books this year, as Novak Djokovic became the first man to win 23 Grand Slam titles.

His win at Roland Garros also means he´s the first man to win each Grand Slam three times.

In the women´s, Iga Swiatek lifted the trophy for the third time in four years. But there was also plenty of drama, stories, and inspirational moments in Paris this year.

From the French crowd´s booing of Taylor Fritz, Elina Svitolina´s incredible run just 8 months after giving birth, Alcaraz cramping, to Japan´s Miyu Kato being controversially defaulted in the women´s doubles, then going onto win the Mixed Doubles.
