PARIS — Novak Djokovic pursued Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for quite some time. Sure, when Djokovic looks across the net in Court Philippe Chatrier during the French Open final on Sunday, he will see Casper Ruud trying to prevent him from earning a men’s-record 23rd championship at a Grand Slam tournament. Still, it’s important to remember that the milestone Djokovic is chasing now is in many ways defined by his two great rivals. Entering the 2011 season, Federer owned 16 major championships, Nadal nine and Djokovic one. Djokovic has collected 10 of the last 19 Slam titles and made clear his intention to keep adding to his total.
