Novak Djokovic makes The National Sport's front page on Monday, June 6 after he beat Andy Murray to lift his first French Open men's singles title.

World No 1 Djokovic beat the second-ranked Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to complete a career Grand Slam, having already won the Australian Open six times, Wimbledon three times and US Open two times.

Apart from closing in on Roger Federer’s tally of 17 major titles and Rafael Nadal’s 14 crowns, the Serb also became just the third man in history to hold all four major titles at the same time – albeit not in the same year.
