Novak Djokovic wins fourth-straight Wimbledon title, 21st Grand Slam

The defending champion reigned supreme once again on the Centre Court of the All England Club as Novak Djokovic scripted yet another 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 come-from-behind win against Nick Kyrgios on Sunday at Wimbledon to claim his fourth straight crown on SW19 and a record-equalling seventh title in Open Era.

This is Djokovic’s first Grand Slam title win in 2022; Spain’s Rafael Nadal had won the Australian Open and French Open titles.

With the win, he levelled the legendary Sampras for the second-most number of titles at the Wimbledon. Roger Federer still stands atop with eight such wins. He however surged ahead of the Swiss to take the second spot in the all-time Grand Slam list and stand only a title behind Rafael Nadal’s record of 22 major crowns.

“I lost words for what this trophy means. It has always been and always will be the most special tournament. Realising a childhood dream in winning this trophy. Every year it gets more meaningful, I am really blessed. The most special court in the world. I am extremely happy and grateful to be here,” he said after the win.
