Serbian Novak Djokovic, third racket in the world, won his seventh Wimbledon title and the 21st Grand Slam of his career on Sunday by beating Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 in the final. (7/3).
Djokovic, 35, took three hours to defeat the controversial Australian, 40th in the world, on the center court of the All England Club in London, where he lifted the trophy for the fourth time in a row since 2018 (the tournament was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic ).
With this victory, the Serbian is only one behind Rafa Nadal, who after winning the Australian Open this year and his 14th Roland Garros, already has 22 Grand Slam titles.
He is also just one title away from equaling the record of eight Wimbledon trophies, held by the Swiss Roger Federer.
Djokovic “is a bit of a god, I’m not going to lie,” Kyrgios acknowledged, congratulating his rival.
The Australian assured that he had “absolutely” no more desire to compete for now, “I think that I and we are all exhausted from so much tennis.” But he said “hope one day to be here again.”
“Nick, you’ll come back,” Djokovic assured him, considering that the controversial tennis player has “shown why he deserves to be one of the best players in the world, especially on this surface.”
“I’m sure we will see you more in the later rounds of the Grand Slams,” he assured Kyrgios. And he added: “I never thought I would say so many nice things about you.” “I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship,” he joked.
Smoothing out their rough edges off the court, the two players had agreed that the winner would invite the loser to dinner, although it could not be the same Sunday as it was the Serbian’s wedding anniversary. (D)
