Novak Djokovic wins 21st Grand Slam, lifts his 7th Wimbledon trophy

Novak Djokovic won a fourth-successive Wimbledon title, seventh overall, and a 21st Grand Slam as he defeated Australia's Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 in the Men's Singles final on Sunday.

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

The Serb has also equalled Pete Sampras's tally of seven titles at the All England Club and moved within one of the men's record of eight held by Roger Federer.
