It took him a while by his high standards but No 21 finally happened for Novak Djokovic. The Serbian claimed his seventh Wimbledon title on Sunday after beating Australia’s Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
This was the fourth consecutive time Djokovic won the title at SW19, making him the fourth men’s player - after Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer - to do so. It also took him one better of Federer’s overall Grand Slam tally, as he won his 21st title, just one short of Rafael Nadal’s 22, the record among male players.

After losing to Medvedev in the US Open final to miss out on the calendar year Grand Slam, getting deported from Australia and looking very flat in his loss to Nadal in RG, Djokovic is back in the winners' circle on the major stage. Is visibly emotional at his bench!
