For Novak Djokovic to play his best tennis against the very best in this era is a truly astonishing feat, believes Sky Sports tennis expert Barry Cowan. Djokovic joined the tennis greats when he downed Andy Murray 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 on Sunday to claim his maiden French Open title and hold all four Grand Slams at the same time.The world No 1 recovered from a nervous start to impose his pace on Court Philippe Chatrier and clinch the title he craved after three previous failures in a Roland Garros final. He became only the third man after Don Budge and Rod Laver to hold the four majors at the same time, and the eighth man to triumph at Wimbledon and the French, US and Australian Opens.Djokovic, who is now on a 28-match winning streak in majors, moved level alongside Roy Emerson with his 12th Grand Slam crown and is now just two behind Pete Sampras and Rafa Nadal and five behind Swiss great Roger Federer. Djokovic wins French Open Novak Djokovic beats Andy Murray to win French Open for first time And Cowan says the Serbians achievements have not come easy since beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to lift his first major title in Australia eight years ago.Djokovic joins an elite group now, he told Sky Sports. To think that its 12 majors hes won now while Federer has won 17 with Nadal 14 and Sampras 14 - hes joint fourth on the list. Apart from the first one which was against Tsonga in 2008, his last 11 wins, hes had to beat Nadal, Federer and Murray in the final in each of those last 11.So its not as if the draw has opened up. To play his best tennis against the very best in this era is truly astonishing.Djokovic is the model of consistency. The last time he failed to make at least the quarter-finals of the majors was when he slipped to a third-round loss at the 2009 French Open. He became the first player to break through the $100m barrier in prize money this year and has now hammered home his right to be regarded as the greatest player of all time following his victory in Paris.I think if he does win Wimbledon, then it would arguably be his biggest effort of any, added Cowan. Barry Cowan gives his assessment after Novak Djokovic clinched a career Grand Slam in Paris Now hes achieved what hes wanted to achieve. You would have thought if hes human, you would think he would have a bit of a let down.Djokovic has surprised so many of us in the last couple of years. At 29, and when he started 2016, the question was can he achieve what he did last year?Most of us in the game felt yes, because there is still room for improvement. I still feel there are areas of his game that Novak can get better and right now in big matches, he just knows hes going to win.

Carlos Correa Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. WACO, Texas -- Natalie Chou is growing more comfortable, and thats a welcome development for No. 3 Baylor.The freshman went 5 for 6 from 3-point range and finished with 15 points on Tuesday night, helping the Lady Bears to a 90-24 victory against Texas State.All it comes down to is confidence, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. Even if she wouldve missed those shots, keep shooting it. The first part of the nonconference schedule she wouldnt even look at the basket. I can go get another player to do that. I brought her here to shoot the ball.The Lady Bears (10-1) shot 53 percent from the field and had six players score in double figures. Alexis Prince and Kalani Brown also scored 15 points apiece, Nina Davis and Beatrice Mompremier each had 12, and Lauren Cox finished with 11.Leading scorer Alexis Jones got the night off to rest, and Baylor was just fine without her.(Jones) has the ACL on one knee and the microfracture and every chance I get to rest her I will, Mulkey said. Weve got a long break for Christmas. I think I can rest her for two games, and she embraced it. No injury or anything, shes playing great basketball.Baylor freshman Calveion Landrum had team highs with 11 assists and seven rebounds.Taeler Deer led Texas State (3-4) with 10 points. The Bobcats managed just ffive points in the second half on 2-of-31 shooting.dddddddddddd.I think the disappointing piece was we got to Texas State shots, Texas State coach Zenarae Antoine said. Those are shots we generally knock down. To only score five points (in the second half) was really tough, largely because we pride ourselves on signing kids that can put the ball in the hole.BIG PICTURETexas State: The Bobcats were competitive for a quarter before they were overwhelmed by Baylors size. The good news is they dont face anyone the caliber of the Lady Bears for the rest of the regular season.Baylor: After an 88-66 victory at No. 24 Tennessee on Sunday, the Lady Bears used this game as an opportunity to get everybody playing time. Baylor had 11 players with double-digit minutes, with just two players staying on the floor for more than 20.UP NEXTTexas State has a more manageable schedule coming up with a home game against Division II St. Edwards on Saturday and a visit to Prairie View A&M on Dec. 16Baylor wont leave home until the calendar turns to 2017. The Lady Bears next game is Dec. 15 against Winthrop, and theyll open Big 12 play against Kansas State on Dec. 29. ' ' '
