Djokovic surged to a 3-0 lead in the second set and won in 52 minutes. Ruud attempted a comeback in the third set, but the 22-time Grand Slam champion gave a good fight to go ahead and win the third set 7-5 after three hours and 13 minutes.
Djokovic has now tied Serena Williams’ Grand Slam tally and is just a single Grand Slam behind Margaret Court, who holds the record with 24 Grand Slam championships.
