French Open 2023: What time is the men’s final and how to watch on TV?

Novak Djokovic will be trying to set the record for the most grand slam singles trophies won by a man when he goes for what would be No 23 against Casper Ruud in the French Open final on Sunday.

Djokovic enters that match with 22, tied with Rafael Nadal. Roger Federer, who announced his retirement last year, is next with 20.

Among women, Margaret Court leads the way with 24, some earned during the sport’s amateur era, while Serena Williams finished her career last season with 23, the most in the Open era.

In his way of a record-beating title is Casper Ruud who will be seeking his first slam success. This will be Ruud’s third final in the past five majors. Last year, the 24-year-old from Norway was the runner-up to Nadal at the French Open and to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open.

The No 3-seeded Djokovic owns a 4-0 head-to-head record against No 4 Ruud and has won all eight sets they have played against each other.

On Saturday Iga Swiatek won her third French Open title with a tense three-set win over Karolina Muchova.
