Monday Afterschool Special: Grand Slam

No Djok

Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray in the French Open final yesterday, 3–6, 6–1, 6–2, 6–4. The Serbian superstar has now completed his career Grand Slam by winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. He has also won the last four consecutive men's slam events.

Djokovic had previously appeared in the French Open final three times. He was obviously relieved to finally get the win:

Djokovic's on-court looks

Originally clad in Adidas, a skinny 16-year-old Djokovic was swimming in his baggy shirts.

Still baggy.

Giving the classic polo shirt look a try at the U.S. Open.

If only that were actually a hat.

Things were...different in 2006, at the Australian Open.

The clothes were different, but the moves were not.

For a player who is known now for snug-fitting attire, it's easy to forget how billowy it once was, at the French Open.

Before his much ballyhooed switch to Head in 2009, Djokovic was a Wilson guy.

Always the crowd-pleaser, Djokovic threw on a French soccer jersey after winning the title in Metz.

When in Monte Carlo, do as the Monte Carlo-ites do.

At least his off-court attire was interesting.

Adidas finally puts Djokovic in something memorable and he has one of the most impressive runs to the title ever, beating the top three seeds in Andy Roddick, Rafa Nadal, and Roger Federer to win Montreal.

A few weeks later he was into his first Slam final at the U.S. Open, where he lost to Roger Federer.

He got his whole box decked out in his kit too. Well, almost his whole box. Hi Maria!

Nole nearly went shirtless at Davis Cup.

This is the season Djokovic's on-court fashion took flight, beginning in Melbourne at the Australian Open.

It helps when you know your family is behind you.

Djokovic goes grey to win his first Indian Wells title.

The monochrome continued through the French Open.

It wouldn't past muster under Wimbledon's current dress-code, but the baby blue was cool.

Given when his future sponsors would do with his patriotic kits, it's a shame adidas decked him out in boring black and white for the Beijing Olympics.

Djokovic wasn't the only Adidas player who had to wear this terrible kit at the U.S. Open. Which is unfortunate for everyone.

Thankfully, it came in other colorways.

Adidas actually made him a special kit for the World Tour Finals. It was the beginning of many.

Enter the falcon, Adidas attempt to give Djokovic his own "RF" logo.

Djokovic switches from Wilson to Head. And all hell breaks loose.

Djokovic's blue kicks were an all-time favorite...

...The shorts almost falling off? Not so much. Davis Cup will do this to you.

Primary colors have always worked best on Novak, particularly the ones from Serbia's flag.

It looked particularly good against the red clay.

Occasionally these darn things wouldn't stay on.

Back to orange at the U.S. Open.

Djokovic marches into Basel, Switzerland in all black and walks away with the trophy in Federer's home town.

The last Adidas kit Djokovic would wear.

Nole matched the courts in Melbourne and added all-white wristbands.

The ombre, white-to-gray look, mismatched wristbands and white hat looked off on Djokovic.

The Serb looked good in red on the clay in the Davis Cup.

The shiny, golden yellow shirt and black shorts were too much for Rome.

Winged designs on the front and back of the polo at Roland Garros? No.

Adidas redeemed itself with Novak's all-white Wimbledon look.

But the fire-red dragon on the black polo was not a sharp look for the U.S. Open.

Djokovic brought his game and a decent kit to the China Open.

Novak celebrates a victory for Serbia in the Davis Cup final.

He debuted the year with an all-black uniform with a pop of orange.

But we liked the alternate white and blue kit with red accents better.

Djokovic paid a tribute to Japan on his socks at Indian Wells.

And the red, white and blue attire won him an Indian Wells title.

The victories kept coming for Novak in a similar uniform at the Sony Open.

And then he took it off.

The black and orange kit reappears in Madrid.

The rainbow pattern on the front and back of Novak's polo and shorts was too much for Roland Garros.

And the white version didn't look much better.

How can you go wrong with an all-white kit and a title at the All England Club?

Novak channels his inner Maria Sharapova, as the two unveil Head's latest collection in New York. Don't ever go blonde, Nole.

Nole had a customized kit for the U.S. Open.

Ringing in the new year with busy, unflattering designs.

And bubbles? Only in Miami.

Djokovic went for a rare striped top and bottom in Rome.

One of Uniqlo's first kits on Novak was spectacular -- clean, crisp navy with red accents.

Uniqlo takes a try at the white Wimbledon dress code.

The brand hit the mark in this sharp all-blue uniform trimmed with red.

Uniqlo's first fail: Pinstripes.

The slate gray number at Indian Wells was nice, but the silver shoes were not.

It was a nice try.

All white from head to toe, including the cap. We dig it.

Novak can't go wrong with red and black in China.

Uniqlo unveils a new two-toned top for the Australian Open.

And the patterned continued into Monte Carlo.

His play wasn't sharp at this year's U.S. Open, but the uniform was.

Once again in red in Beijing and another strike in the win column for Djokovic.

The Warriors take control

The Golden State Warriors blew out the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals last night, 110–77. Draymond Green was the hero for Golden State, scoring 28 points, which included five three-pointers.

Making things worse for the Cavaliers is the possibility that Kevin Love has a concussion after taking an elbow to the head from Harrison Barnes. Game 3 is Wednesday in Cleveland at 9:00 p.m. ET. In the meantime, enjoy Steph Curry reacting to his teammates' barrage:
