Novak Djokovic has been crowned Wimbledon champion for a seventh time after a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory over Nick Kyrgios

Wimbledon is his second most successful grand slam, yet Djokovic has now won a startling seven singles titles, equalling Pete Sampras’ count. He is joint second on the men’s all-time list behind Roger Federer, who has eight titles, and has broken the men’s second-place tie of 20 grand slam tournament wins with Federer, moving up to 21 and within one win of Rafael Nadal in the grand slam race that never ends.

Throughout his career, Kyrgios has built a name for himself as a big match player who rises against the best, yet it was not clear if he would be as fearless with so much on the line. He absolutely was. Throughout a nerveless first set, Kyrgios served extremely well, he weaved his web of variety and even out-rallied Djokovic from the backhand corner.

Early in the match, Kyrgios effectively suppressed his temper, but as the third set unfolded his mood slowly unravelled. The challenger constantly ranted toward his box, then after a fan called out during his service he received an audible obscenity code violation during his argument with the umpire. Meanwhile, a ‘Where Is Peng Shuai?’ protestor was accosted by security.

Novak Djokovic’s vast experience in grand slam finals told as he turned the screw after losing the opening set.Despite Kyrgios aiming criticism and insults at Djokovic in the past, the pair had curiously spent the night before their grand slam final publicly communicating with each other through Instagram stories, which ended with Kyrgios inviting Djokovic out for a drink. Their newfound congeniality continued afterwards as they lavished praise on each other during the trophy ceremony.
