The Duchess of Cambridge has presented Novak Djokovic with the trophy after he won his fifth Wimbledon title by defeating Roger Federer in an epic five hour thriller this afternoon.
In one of the most dramatic matches the All England Club has ever witnessed, Djokovic defied a crowd screaming for his opponent by becoming the first player to win a singles match on a deciding tie-break after the last set was drawn 12-12.
Djokovic had saved two match points when Federer served for victory at 8-7 in the deciding set and went on to take it 7-6 (5) 1-6 7-6 (4) 4-6 13-12 (3) after four hours and 57 minutes.
Federer had hoped to follow up his emotional semi-final victory over Rafael Nadal by completing the double over his other great rival for the first time at a grand slam, but it was not to be.
They were playing in front of a capacity crowd packed with celebrities including Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, actor Benedict Cumberbatch and model Kendall Jenner.

Great match. Roger had it in his grasp but couldn’t finish it out with two match points at 8 - 7 in the fifth.
A lot of people griping about the new rule and saying they should have fought it out.
Can’t imagine the stamina needed for that 5 hours
I quit watching after the 5th wicket.
The Duchesses of Cueball and Succotash attended the ladies’ and men’ finals, with the Duke of Cueball present today. Did not see the Prince of Dubious Parentage; he must have been home looking after Baby Succotash.
They went to the Lion King premier.
That’s a djok!
The dumbest living organism on planet Earth, Mr. Marijuana, slugging back the vino.
The always lovely Chris Everette
who are those people?
I just came here hoping there would be photos of Roger Federer.
But Bezos... your girlfriend...WOOF.
She’s gonna look hilarious in about 5-8 more years with that plastic surgery effed up face. LOLOL.

Richest guy on the planet..or close to it and the woman he gave up 1/2 his fortune for
the funniest pics of the day are that of brooklyn beckham.
I laughed out loud and felt bad because I thought maybe the person was handicapped..before I knew who it was.
He really did look handicapped like a hunchback.
I will have to look for the photo
they all appear to have Jeff Epstein on their minds....LOL. Just kidding...I think!
At least nobody can accuse Bezo of choosing women for their looks.
I went to the link. There were some photos of Federer naturally. I have always found him extremely handsome.
