The World’s top-ranked tennis player has defended his crown at the sport’s most famous tournament. Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the men’s singles championship at Wimbledon on Sunday, (7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12) to earn his fifth title at the British club.
In the first year of the newly implemented rule, Federer and Djokovic reached the fifth set tiebreaker for the first time in a Wimbledon final.
It’s the second time in his career the Serbian has earned back-to-back championships at Wimbledon after accomplishing the feat in 2014-15. Djokovic defeated Federer in both of those championship matches as well. The 32-year-old is now 26–22 (10–6 in Grand Slams) against Federer.
Sunday’s final was the first on the men’s side to reach a fifth set since Djokovic’s 2014 victory over Federer.
