PARIS: Novak Djokovic captured a first French Open on Sunday to become just the third man in history to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time.
The world number one downed old rival Andy Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to claim a 12th career major and join Don Budge in 1938 and Rod Laver, in 1962 and 1969, as the only players to simultaneously possess the French Open, Australian Open, US Open and Wimbledon trophies.
Djokovic, 29, also put himself halfway to the calendar Slam, last achieved by Laver 47 years ago.
