Roland Garros/IBNS: Novak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 (6/8), 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the finals of French Open winning his 19th Grand Slam title. 

Djokovic, 34, scripted an epic comeback victory on Sunday as he became the first man to win a Grand Slam after fighting back twice from two sets down.

The top seed Serb's experience was on display when his opponent Tsitsipas was forced to bite dust in latter's first ever Grand Slam final.

Djokovic's stupendous victory includes the historic semi final match on Friday when he beat defending champion Nadal.

"It has been an unforgettable few moments for me in my life and my career. I will definitely remember these last 48 hours in my life," Djokovic said after his win, reported BBC.

With this win, Djokovic, who had won at Roland Garros in 2016, became the first man to win all four Grand Slams twice since 1968, when the fully professional Open era began.
