Script:

The first French Open title of the year was up for grabs on Thursday as Jean-Julien Rojer of the Netherlands and Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany took on eighth-seeded Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia and Julia Goerges of Germany in the final of the mixed doubles.

Zimonjic and Goerges took the opening set when the Serb hit a forehand return winner off Rojer's serve.

But Rojer and Groenefeld evened the match as Goerges dropped serve twice in the second set.

They won four straight points in the Champions tiebreaker to lead 5-2 before clinching the victory when Goerges netted a backhand volley.

4-6, 6-2, 10-7 the final score as Groenefeld took her first doubles grand slam title since 2009, and as Rojer took his first ever slam title.
