Can't wrap my head around this: Djokovic is simultaneously the oldest man to win Roland-Garros... and the youngest man who has won Roland-Garros (via u/timb1223)
Incredible stat as Djokovic is simultaneously oldest man and youngest man to win Roland Garros

Novak Djokovic has achieved greatness in tennis including a record breaking haul of Grand Slam titles but also defied seemingly history in the latest statistic unearthed after his Roland Garros triumph.
Djokovic is simultaneously the oldest but also youngest Roland Garros winner. But how is that possible?
It shows the relevance still of the Big Three as at the age of 36, he became the oldest Roland Garros champion.
Thus beating out Rafael Nadal who was 35 years old and 11 months old when he won last year. This likely will be improved upon next year if either then win the title.
But with Rafael Nadal winning all but two of the Roland Garros titles, he also becomes the youngest winner.
Nadal has 14 titles and Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka are the only players to break that mould.
All three of them are older than Djokovic as are all the champions that won the event before the big three making this baffling statistic seem more real.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
