French Open 2016: Bracket, schedule and scores for men's draw

It took him 12 years and four appearances in the finals of the French Open, but Novak Djokovic has finally earned a championship at Roland Garros. The French Open title has eluded him to this point, including in a crushing defeat at the hands of Stan Wawrinka in last year's final. But this time around, he played some of the best tennis of his career and nobody could stop him from taking it.

Andy Murray, the second seed for the tournament playing in his first-ever final at Roland Garros, played hard. He took the first set from Djokovic and when he was facing championship point, he battled Djokovic to the end and even broke him in the fourth and final set. But it wasn't to be for him -- Djokovic shut down any long successful rally by burning Murray on the next point with a beautiful forehand.

Djokovic now has 12 Grand Slam titles to his name, in addition to completing his career Grand Slam. He also won the first two Grand Slam events this year, and with three previous wins at Wimbledon and two at the US Open, including last year for both, Djokovic has a golden opportunity to complete all four in a single year.
