Novak Djokovic claimed a third consecutive Wimbledon, drawing level with his contemporaries on a men’s record for Grand Slam titles.
The Serb held off the challenge of world No. 9 Matteo Berrettini to make history as only the third male player to win 20 Grand Slam singles titles.
With the feat, Djokovic, Federer and Nadal all now sit on 20 Grand Slams each, incredible considering that all three men are still active on the tour.
The task was not easy for the world No. 1, as Berrettini showed grit to fight a proper battle.
Despite going 5-2 up in the opener and serving for the set at 5-3, Djokovic was unable to close it out as the Italian stormed back, eventually sealing the set with an ace in the tiebreak, 7-4.
But the (now) six-time champion knuckled down to respond immediately, racing into a 4-0 lead with a double break in the second.
Berrettini still made some excellent plays, including this ridiculous tweener lob.
