Novak Djokovic wins French Open with epic comeback over Stefanos Tsitsipas

After two sets, it looked like Novak Djokovic might be finished. After a grueling wins in the semis over Rafael Nadal, Djokovic looked sluggish as Stefanos Tsitsipas dominated the action.

But then he dug deep and everything flipped. Djokovic stormed back to win in five sets, giving him his nineteenth grand slam title, right behind Nadal and Roger Federer who sit at 20.

The big three era will go down in history as the greatest in tennis history. You can make an argument that these are the three best players in tennis history, even if you argue about the order.

But now Djokovic may be on the verge of surpassing his two iconic rivals. At 34, Djokovic is poised to surpass both Nadal and Federer in grand slam titles, and he has winning records against both.

Andy Murray finally won one for the Brits, defeating top-seeded Novak Djokovic in straight sets for the Wimbledon title. Still, it wasn’t easy:

Yes, this was history, and Murray’s 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 victory over top-seeded Novak Djokovic was a fitting close to nearly eight decades of British frustration in its own backyard: A straight-setter, yes, but a hard-fought, 3-hour, 9-minute affair filled with long, punishing rallies and a final game that may have felt like another 77 years, with Murray squandering three match points before finally putting it away after four deuces.

Murray has definitely paid his dues, and it’s nice to see him finally get what he so desperately wanted.
