PARIS – Thoughts on No. 1 Novak Djokovic’s win over No. 2 Andy Murray to claim his first French Open title.
• After two weeks of chaos at Roland Garros, tennis karma finally got it right. Djokovic did what he had to for six rounds in Paris to finally claim the French Open title. It would’ve seemed almost unspeakably cruel if he would’ve been thwarted again.
A great irony to this whole discussion—which we can now stop having—is that he’s really a fine clay court player. This was his 13th title on clay but Sunday's win was obviously the biggest one and now we can discuss Djokovic without having to make mention of the French Open title that’s eluded him.
