The clay season officially came to an end over the weekend, with Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic walking away with the top prizes and the No. 1 rankings at the French Open.
It was a historical fortnight for both players. With her fiercely contested win over Karolina Muchova, the 22-year-old Swiatek became the youngest player since Serena Williams in 2002 to win her fourth major title and the third woman in the Open Era to have a 4-0 record in Grand Slam finals. And for Djokovic, it was certainly one for the record books. Earning his 23rd major title with a straight-sets victory over Casper Ruud, he broke the tie with Rafael Nadal for most ever by a male player, and he is now tied with Williams for the most by any player in the Open era.
Having won the Australian Open to start the season, Djokovic now remains in contention for the elusive Calendar Slam. If he were to win one more Grand Slam title this season, he would match Margaret Court’s long-standing record for the most in the history of the sport. If he completes the season sweep, the record will be his alone.
Of course, there are two majors left to be played — on two different surfaces — and anything is possible for both the men and the women. So who, in addition to Djokovic…
