Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will meet in the final of the 2016 French Open on Sunday, with each player seeking his first taste of silverware at Roland Garros.

No. 1 seed Djokovic will contest the fourth French Open final of his career, having lost in 2012, 2014 and 2015, while Murray is the first Briton to make this fixture since Bunny Austin in 1937.
