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.
