Tennis: Djokovic 'proud' to win his 70th match at Roland Garros

A proud Novak Djokovic joined Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in winning 70 matches at the French Open. Djokovic: "Well, grand slams are obviously the biggest tournaments in our sport. Historically, you know, they count the most. So of course winning that many matches on each slam is a great achievement, and of course it makes me proud, makes me happy. I always aim to play my best tennis in grand slams. I think Federer, Nadal, the biggest players in the last 10, 15 years, aim to always play their best in slams. So, you know, playing a grand slam and best-of-five is the only tournament where we basically play best-of-five. Over the two weeks it takes a lot of energy and effort to invest into winning a grand slam. Obviously those records are great. I mean, they don't, so to say, determine my day in terms of how I feel on the court, if I broke the record for most matches won on slam or not, but of course it's nice to hear. It's kind of a confirmation for me that, you know, I have been able to play my best tennis throughout my career in the biggest tournaments."
