Following reverses to Nadal (2012, 2014) and to Stan Wawrinka (2015) in his first three Roland Garros finals, Djokovic became fourth time lucky.

In a four-set final, the Serb beat his good friend Andy Murray to become only the fifth player in the Open Era to win the coveted career Grand Slam - the others being Rod Laver (1969), Andre Agassi (1999), Roger Federer (2009) and Rafael Nadal (2010).

In the process, Djokovic emulated Laver as the only players in the Open Era to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time.

Djokovic has won 5 titles in Indian Wells, 6 in Miami, 2 in Monte Carlo, 3 in Madrid, 4 in Rome, 4 at the Coupe Rogers, 4 in Shanghai and 5 in Paris-Bercy.
