Novak Djokovic has won the Wimbledon men's title for the third time

 The Serbian 28-year-old soared to victory for the second year running following a four-set thriller, which ended 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 and 6-3
Novak Djokovic was crowned Wimbledon champion today for the third time after beating Roger Federer in a nail-biting final.


He went on to win the final set 6-3 after his first championship point, matching coach Boris Becker's impressive Wimbledon record
The Serbian 28-year-old soared to victory for the second year running following a four-set thriller, which was watched on by a star-studded crowd, including Pippa Middleton, Benedict Cumberbatch and Naomi Campbell. 
He roared in delight and pumped his arms after winning his first match point, before eating some of the hallowed Centre Court grass.
In what was almost a repeat of last year's final, the World Number One sealed the win - his ninth grand slam title - in the fourth set of the game, despite losing the second set to his accomplished rival.

The Swiss 33-year-old - who was hoping for his eighth Wimbledon title - had triumphed following a lengthy tie break, winning 12 points to Djokovic's 10.
But Djokovic's form was too much for Federer and he went on to win the final set 6-3 after his first championship point, matching coach Boris Becker's impressive Wimbledon record.
Djokovic won 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 and 6-3 and will now earn a cool £1.88 million for his victory. Federer takes home £940,000 as runner-up.
