Novak Djokivic won his fourth consecutive Wimbledon men’s singles titles, holding off the combustible Nick Kyrgios in four sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday.
It was the 21st Grand Slam championship for the Serbian star, one short of all-time leader Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic has won seven Wimbledon men’s singles championships, tying with Pete Sampras for second place behind Roger Federer (eight).
Whereas this was the first Grand Slam final for Kyrgios, Djokovic has played in a record 32 of them and has not been beaten on Centre Court since 2014. Sunday also happened to be his eighth wedding anniversary.
Kyrgios, an Australian with the best serve in the game, seemed to alternate explosive shots and emotional outbursts, frequently chiding friends and family members in the players’ box for not cheering loudly enough for him. There were multiple tantrums throughout the match.
At one point, he pressed the umpire to have a fan removed for distracting him while he was trying to serve.
"She’s drunk out of her mind in the first row, talking to me in the middle of the game,” he said, loud enough for the TV cameras and anyone in the vicinity to hear. “The one with the dress. The one who looks like she’s had about 700 drinks, bro!”
At No. 40, Kyrgios was the lowest-ranked Wimbledon men’s finalist since countryman Mark Philippousis reached the final as No. 48 in 2003. He wound up losing to Federer.

Hooray. Chalk one up for the good guys. Go, Purebloods
You would think that with all the money those two make they could shell out for some badly needled vowels.
It should have been his 22nd Grand Slam title, if not for the vax Nazis in Australia.
PureBloods aren’t allowed in the US Open though so he won’t be playing here.
Novak Djokovic faces US Open ban; USTA does not take Wimbledon stance

“While the rest of the world has eased Covid restrictions, the United States are still requiring all travellers entering the country be fully vaccinated.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The abject hypocrisy of millions coming across the southern-not-a-border illegally with NO shots & NO testing, NO nothing.
Under the current rules, he won't be able to travel to the US to play in the US Open. So the madness continues.
He should enter through the Southern border in a caravan.
Novak could enter the USA at the southern border and get flown to NY by the Biden administration and play in the US Open, but he’s got more class than that.
So, why is a non-vaccinated basketball player like Kyrie Irving allowed to play while similarly unvaxxed Djokovic is not?
Basketball is a close contact sport. Much more so than Tennis.
The policy makes no sense at all.
Good for No-vax. The Aussie punk needs a bust in the chops and anger management training.
Novak wood ownlee need to get rid of the D to hav his kast name appeer as it sownz.
kast=last
I almost said that in my post.
The policy makes no sense at all.
+++++++++++++++++++++
None of The Regime’s policies make sense ... except to those on the Left with brains that must be the cosistency of mush (or maybe it’s ‘pudding’?) at this point. As opposed to Irving, Djokovic is a white, privileged male who plays a high-falutin’ sport like tennis, for goodness sakes ... can’t be making any exceptions for people like him /sarc
Fitting that he beat an Australian to win.
The US requires proof of vax to enter from a foreign country?
Happy Anniversary to a great guy! All the best wishes for the future!
The Australian Closed.
