French Open 2016: Djokovic Defeated Murray, Won First French Open Title

Paris: Novak Djokovic breathed a sigh of relief on Sunday as he won his first 2016 French Open Title beating Britain’s Andy Murray in a tough competition. Murray is holding the World Number Two ranking. The 29-year-old Serbian player won 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 to win his 12th major title. Reports are that with this Djokovic became the first male tennis player to achieve all four Grand Slams at once since Rod Laver achieved the same in 1969.

With a series of records made on yesterday’s match, Djokovic was found to be the eighth man who has won all four of the sport’s major singles prizes. Murray also had created a history in the final match of Grand Slam yesterday as he was Britain’s first male finalist in Paris since 1937, sources said.

“It’s a very special moment, the biggest of my career. I felt today something that I never felt before at Roland Garros, I felt the love of the crowd,” said Djokovic which was followed by handing over the La Coupe des Mousquetaires Trophy to the Serbian player with a broadly smiling face.

EXIN Times reports asserted that Murray looked upset with the defeat but the match saw an aggressive performance of him in the opening set. His final comments, however, did not lock his disappointment over the defeat. Murray said: “To Novak, this is his day. What he’s achieved the last 12 months is phenomenal; winning all the Grand Slams in one year is an amazing achievement. It’s so rare in tennis, and for me personally, it sucks to lose the match, but I'm proud to have been part of today.”
