Novak Djokovic has come back from two sets down to claim his second French Open title, beating spirited 22-year-old, Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-7 , 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in a thrilling decider on Court Philippe-Chatrier.Novak Djokovic is the first man to win a grand slam having twice faced a 2-0 deficit in setsTsitsipas needed treatment for a back injury at the end of the third set
Djokovic’s second trophy at Roland Garros moves him one major championship away from tying the men’s record of 20 shared by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Eventually, though, he started making fewer mistakes, got his best-in-the-game returning on track, served almost flawlessly down the stretch and was able to complete his sixth career comeback from two sets down — and second of the past week.
This was the first major final for Tsitsipas and 29th for Djokovic, who also won the French Open in 2016, along with nine titles at the Australian Open, five at Wimbledon and three at the US Open.
