PARIS, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Novak Djokovic was finally crowned at Roland Garros after winning an encounter between top two seed here over Andy Murray on Sunday to round up a career Grand Slam.
With the victory, Djokovic, who'd finished runner-up here for three times, beat the odd as the No. 2 seed had holden a 6-2 win-loss record against the top one in the previous eight times when top two seeds met in the French Open finals.
The world No. 1, who won 12 office last 14 matches against Murray, came from one set down to beat Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4, though having committed a double fault before wrapping it up with a backhand unforced error from the Scot.
There came the sunshine right after Djokovic's title-taking victory after a rare French Open with many rain delays and even a washout in 16 years to mar the two-week long tournament.
It took Djokovic three hours and three minutes to triumph the clay-court major and Murray, in a very close private relationship with the Serb, sent first-time congrats to his opponent.
The 29-year-old Djokovic, who won a break in the very first game but was broken back in the next though having saved three break points, failed to hold his own game until 40 minutes into the final in the sixth game.
Things went on the contrary direction in the second set, however, as the top seed broke Murray early to come up a 3-0 lead but missed two break points in the next to let the Scot pull one game back.
Djokovic went further then, managing to hold his serve and again broke the Scot, who's just seven days older than the Serb, to lead 5-1 before serving to level the match with a 6-1 second set.
In the third, the Serb, who hit almost every shot so deep that Murray was forced to run the full range of the court, broke twice against Murray's none to make short effort of the second seed 6-2.
With two love games in a row to lead 5-2 in the decisive fourth set, Djokovic failed to complete a serve-to-win eighth game, but managed to hold his nerve in his next serve game after committed a late break from Murray.
The victory sent Djokovic on top on the list for the most attempts before winning the title here.
