On this week’s Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross breaks down Novak Djokovic’s historic Roland Garros title, giving him three French Open titles and a new record 23 major titles. He defeated now two-time runner-up Casper Ruud in the final. We’ll talk about Djokovic’s unmatched resume, how Novak was able to win the first set with toughness and willpower despite coming out tight, what patterns he used to dominate play off the ground in sets 2 and 3, and finally an argument that Djokovic is the greatest marvel of athletic longevity in the history of sports, even more so than worthy contenders like Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and even Lebron James and Tom Brady.
