Novak Djokovic's final match against Casper Ruud at the 2023 Roland Garros attracted quite a few star names, with one legend sitting also in his box.
The Serbian player has been on a charge to win his potential record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title at the 2023 Roland Garros. Djokovic said that history is always hovering over him, and it's certainly hovering over him in the final of the clay-court Slam.
The 36-year-old got into the final after beating Aleksandar Kovacevic, Marton Fucsovics, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Juan Pablo Varillas, Karen Khachanov, and Carlos Alcaraz to set up a final clash with Casper Ruud.
The Norwegian player recorded some impressive wins himself, beating the likes of Holger Rune and Alexander Zverev, showing that he can match his final opponent's qualities. However, one thing that he won't be able to match is the box attendance at the Court Philippe-Chatrier during the final match.
Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady came to support the 22-time Grand Slam champion during his pursuit of his 23rd major. However, he wasn't the only star attending the final match.
French football star Kylian Mbappe, but also other football players, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Olivier Giroud, and Theo Hernandez came to witness what might be a historic triumph in the French capital.
Formula One drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon were also spotted in the crowd, with the Formula 1 and tennis crossing their paths quite often lately.
Yannick Noah, who won the 1983 edition of the French Open, was also among those in attendance, but there were also some important names missing.
Andy Murray wasn't able to attend the match, as he has his own final to contest, at the ATP Challenger event in Surbiton. However, before the match, Murray said that he would be supporting Djokovic in the final match in Paris.
