Novak Djokovic made plenty of history Sunday when he beat Andy Murray 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 in the French Open final.

Djokovic, especially in the past two seasons, never hid how desperately he wanted to win the world's premier clay-court tournament. He had lost three finals, including last year to Stan Wawrinka.

When Murray sent a backhand into the net on a third match point, Djokovic fell to the court on his back. Finally the Coupe des Mousquetaires was his.

The crowd on Philippe Chatrier court roared their approval. Never before in a grand slam final had Djokovic been so loved.

He duly drew a heart into the clay with his racket, mirroring Gustavo Kuerten's celebration when the Brazilian won the French Open in 2001, and dropped himself in the middle of it. Kuerten looked on, seemingly approving.
