Serena Williams reshared the post on her own social media and congratulated her fellow 23-time Grand Slam champion on his record-breaking triumph.

"Congrats @djokernole," she wrote on her Instagram story.

Novak had previously taken to social media and expressed his honour at sharing the milestone with the American legend.

"Huge honour to be sharing the #23 with you, Serena," he wrote on his Instagram story.

After winning the 23rd Grand Slam, Djokovic now expressed his ambition to achieve a calendar Grand Slam, winning all four Major titles in a single year.

“I’d like to get another chance in New York. Of course, I have to win Wimbledon, which is a whole different mountain to climb. The fact that I won the last four Wimbledons gives me a lot of confidence and I look forward to that. I really do. I love playing there, that's the dream tournament, always has been for me,” he said, speaking on Tennis Channel.
