French Open 2016: See how Novak Djokovic framed historic win over Murray

Paris Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic on Sunday won his first French Open title after defeating Britain's Andy Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in 3 hours and three minutes, thus becoming the eighth man in history to complete the career Grand Slam. The 29-year-old Serb notched his 12th Grand Slam championship in total, drawing level with Australian Roy Emerson for fourth place on the all-time title list and is three off Spanish Rafael Nadal and American Pete Sampras and five off Swiss Roger Federer, reports Efe.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic gives a thumbs up as he holds the trophy after winning the final of the French Open tennis tournament against Britain's Andy Murray in four sets 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4, at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris.

The 29-year-old Serb notched his 12th Grand Slam championship in total, drawing level with Australian Roy Emerson for fourth place on the all-time title list and is three off Spanish Rafael Nadal and American Pete Sampras and five off Swiss Roger Federer, reports Efe.

Djokovic is most impressively just the third to hold all four Major crowns at the same time, joining Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 and 1969).

When his victory was over, Djokovic used a racket to etch a heart in the red clay that had given him such heartache in the past and dropped down on his back.

Since losing the 2015 final in Paris, Djokovic has won 28 Grand Slam matches in a row, from Wimbledon and the U.S. Open last year, to the Australian Open in January, and now, at long last, the French Open.
