Novak Djokovic beat Casper Ruud 7-6(1), 6-3, 7-5 on Sunday in the French Open final to win a record 23rd Grand Slam title.

Djokovic was previously tied with Rafael Nadal for most Majors won by a man in the Open era.

Djokovic is now tied with Serena Williams and only one behind Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slams.

Soon after the Serbian completed his win at Roland-Garros, the congratulatory messages began pouring in from the tennis world including Nadal. Here are a few:

23 is a number that just a few years back was imposible to think about, and you made it!
Enjoy it with your family and team! 👏🏻

Congratulations on winning 23 majors @DjokerNole and cementing your legacy in another command performance at Roland Garros. Your skill and unwavering mental fortitude on all surfaces is astonishing.

Andy Roddick (2003 US Open champion)

Tough to make any numbers based argument against @DjokerNole being the best ! If you're making an argument against, it's likely based on feelings and not record. Congrats on 23! Crazy to even think that's possible
