Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic defeated Scottish Andy Murray in the French Open 2016 final on Sunday to complete his career Grand Slam. It was the second time this year Murray has lost to Djokovic in a Grand Slam final. Murray dominated the first set, winning 6–3. He scored 5 aces in total in the match. Djokovic fought back in the second set, winning it 6–1 covering 700m. In the match, Murray had 39 unforced errors as compared to Djokovic's 37.

Djokovic won the third set 6–2, as Murray won just three out of eleven points on his second serve. Djokovic took the fourth set 6–4 to win the match. He has now won the last four major tournaments, beginning with Wimbledon last year.

After the match, Djokovic called it "a thrilling moment. One of the most beautiful I have had in my career."

In his last 14 meetings against Murray, Djokovic has won 12 times, and with this Grand Slam title he joins only seven other men in history with a career Grand Slam.
