There's been a big four in the finals of the major tournaments for quite a while. I thought he'd win this in the fourth as Federer has always blown hot and cold and he was missing so much in that set. But then Djokovitch seemed to get nervous.

I think Federer's time at the very top is pretty much over. Still plays a unique sort of high risk squash-tennis blend that is fun and frustrating to watch. But the roundheads grind him down by hitting a consistent length which his swashbuckling style cannot withstand. Kinda sad to watch.

Novak Djokovic Defeats Roger Federer for Wimbledon Title

Novak Djokovic won his second Wimbledon title Sunday afternoon, beating the seven-time champion Roger Federer, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4.

With the victory, Djokovic moved past Rafael Nadal to claim the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings, which he lost to Rafael Nadal last October.

It was Djokovic’s seventh Grand Slam title, but his first since the 2013 Australian Open. Djokovic, 27, had lost his previous three Grand Slam finals, including last year at Wimbledon against Andy Murray. But this win improved his record in Grand Slam finals to 7-7. It was his 45th singles title overall.
