5 things we learned from Roland Garros as Novak Djokovic created history
It was an eventful fortnight in Paris.
The French Open ended with one anticipated winner in Novak Djokovic and one surprise champion in Barbora Krejcikova.
There were plenty of headaches for tournament organisers but coronavirus mercifully remained largely out of the headlines and the sun shone virtually from start to finish.
Here, the PA news agency picks out five things we learned from the fortnight.
Djokovic will be the greatest
He arguably already is, having become the first man in the Open era to win each of the grand slam titles at least twice. He has also won all the nine ATP Masters events at least twice, a feat no one else has even managed once. He holds winning records against both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and is now just one title behind their joint record of 20 slams. By the end of the year Djokovic could be on 21, and no one could argue he does not deserve it.
