The two best players in the world met in the Wimbledon mens’ final on Sunday as defending champion Rafael Nadal faced Novak Djokovic.
Both players’ form has been sensational this year and at the start of the match they could not be separated. However, Djokovic snatched the first set 6 – 4 after grabbing a late break-point.
The second set was nowhere near as close as the Serb broke twice to take it 6 – 1, only for Nadal to return the favour in the third.
A vital break late in the fourth let Djokovic serve for the title, and he held out for a 6 – 4 6 – 1 1 – 6 6 - 3 victory to earn his first Wimbledon.
The womens’ championship was won by the Czech youngster Petra Kvitova in two sets against Maria Sharapova.
