Novak Djokovic has once again proved he is not just the best tennis player in the world, but a real history man. HEAD’s leading racket ambassador has written another massive piece of tennis history with his victory at Wimbledon on Sunday – and he has completed three steps out of five towards the first ever men’s Golden Slam.

On the hallowed and most revered tennis court in the world, in front of 15,000 fans who rose in unison with deafening applause, Ash Barty realised a dream and created a slice of history. She had defeated Karolina Pliskova [score] and Wimbledon was hers.

The historic 19^th Grand Slam title for Novak Djokovic and Barbora Krejcikova’s singles-and-doubles double were just the headlines from the most successful Grand Slam tournament that Head has ever had.

Novak defeated first time major finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 to win the French Open for the second time and in doing so became the only man in the ‘open era’ of tennis, which dates back to 1968, to claim every one of the four majors: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, multiple times.

Barbora Krejcikova is the Roland Garros women’s singles and doubles champion! It’s the first time since Mary Pierce in 2000 that a player won both titles in Paris. Krejcikova already knew what it was like to hold the doubles trophy (she did it in 2018). But as an unseeded player, getting her hands on the Trophée Suzanne Lenglen after her 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 win on the Philippe Chatrier Arena is the fulfilment of dream she never gave up on.
