Djokovic gets the better of Kyrgios for the seventh title at Wimbledon!
Djokovic: "I've lost words for what this tournament and what this trophy means to me"
The seed no. 1 in the tournament defeated the Australian after four sets (4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 7:6) and more than three hours of play.
By triumphing in his eighth Wimbledon final, Novak reached his 21st Grand Slam title and thus once again got closer to Rafael Nadal on the all-time list (22).
Also, the Serbian ace tied with Pete Sampras for the number of trophies on the courts of the All-England Club, in which the record holder is Roger Federer with eight cups.
Djokovic reached the trophy in the Temple of Tennis by defeating Soonwoo Kwon, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Miomir Kecmanovic, Tim van Rijthoven, Jannik Sinner, Cameron Norrie and now - Nick Kyrgios.
He didn't get off to the best start in his third match against the Australian, losing a set, but quickly consolidated and later recorded the first victory over Kyrgios in his career.
Due to the fact that he could not defend the points won last year, Djokovic will drop on the ATP list from Monday and will be the seventh player in the world.
"I've lost words for what this tournament and what this trophy means to me. It always has been the most special tournament. It was the one that motivated me to play tennis. Every time, this tournament gets more special and meaningful," Djokovic said in an on court interview.
