Novak Djokovic erases two-set deficit to win French Open, claim 19th Grand Slam title

Addressing the crowd in French, Djokovic called Sunday’s victory “a dream” during his on-court remarks — one that wasn’t easy, he noted, earned through nearly nine hours of tennis in a 48-hour span against two exceptional players. Later, he pinpointed the turning point: It came, he said, in the “talk” he had with the competing voices in his head after he exited the court, two sets in arrears. One voice said he couldn’t do it, that the match was “finished.” The other insisted he could.
