(CNN) Novak Djokovic came back from two sets down in a grand slam final for the first time in his career, as he narrowly got the better of Stefanos Tsitsipas in a thrilling French Open final. Victory takes Djokovic to 19 grand slam titles, just one shy of the all-time record jointly held by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Djokovic, conversely, held his serve without breaking a sweat and it would be a trend that continued for much of the opening set. Though it wasn't a knockout blow, Djokovic seemed dazed and immediately lost his serve at the start of the second set. Djokovic had never previously come from two sets down in a grand slam final, but he was one set closer to breaking that duck after closing out the third 6-3.
