Novak Djokovic has won his fourth Wimbledon title today after he beat Kevin Anderson in the men’s singles final.
Both finalists played record-breaking, energy-sapping five-set semi-finals to reach the tournament's finale. But Anderson's six-hour-36-minute duel with John Isner at least finished on the day it started on Friday.
Djokovic's thriller against long-time rival Rafael Nadal
lasted a mere five hours 15 minutes, but only three sets of that could
be completed before the Wimbledon curfew at 11 pm on Friday, and the
pair had to come back on Saturday to finish off before the women's
final.
But the Serb had enough in the tank to see off the South African in three sets.
He's
back at the top of the game, and Novak Djokovic is looking into the sky
as the emotion pours out of a man who has been so frustrated by
injuries over the last 12 months. He is really enjoying this one and is
celebrating with all four corners of the ground.
