PARIS (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic said winning a record 23rd men's singles Grand Slam title at the French Open after beating Norway's Casper Ruud 7-6(1) 6-3 7-5 on Sunday was special given that it was always his toughest one to win.

The Serbian has now won the most Grand Slams of any male player and is the only one to have won each of the four - Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open - at least three times.
