Novak Djokovic moved within one Grand Slam of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer with an astonishing come-from-behind win at the French Open

• Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to beat Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas in the French Open final.
• The victory was the Serbian's 19th career Grand Slam, moving him within one of record holders Nadal and Federer.
• "I will definitely remember these last 48 hours in my life," he said after the match.

Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to beat Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas in the French Open final and claim his 19th ever Grand Slam title.

The Serbian found himself in deep trouble as he conceded the first two sets 6-7 (6-8), 2-6 in what was Tsitsipas' maiden Slam final.

The 34-year-old's experience paid dividends as the match went on, however, with Djokovic rallying to win the next three sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

The victory moves Djokovic just one major title behind the men's record jointly held by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic, whose only previous win at Roland Garros came in 2016, is now also the first man ever to win all four Grand Slams twice since the Open era began in 1968.

"It has been an unforgettable few moments for me in my life and my career," Djokovic, who beat Nadal in a thrilling semifinal on Friday, said after the win.

"I will definitely remember these last 48 hours in my life."

He also consoled Tsitsipas, assuring the 22-year-old that he will have other opportunities to win a Slam in what he believes will be a fruitful career.

"I can relate to what he is going through, I understand how difficult it is losing in a Grand Slam final," he added.

"These are the matches and kind of occasions that you learn most from. He will come out stronger and I believe he will win many Grand Slams in the future."

Tsitsipas, who needed treatment on his lower back at the end of the third set, said: "It was strange because my rhythm, my shots and my movement was perfect. Then I felt cold and out of it. It was difficult to readjust.

"I lost my game a little bit. I really wish I could understand why things like this happen."

In the women's final on Saturday, unseeded Barbora Krejčíková beat Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 to claim her first ever Grand Slam title.

Barbora Krejčíková also won the women's doubles title on Sunday alongside compatriot Kateřina Siniaková to become the first women in 21 years to win both singles and doubles titles in the same year at Roland-Garros.
