Novak Djokovic has, once again, defended his major title.
The top-seeded Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios on Sunday in four sets to win his seventh-career Wimbledon title, and fourth-straight title at the All England Club.
Sunday's win for Djokovic also marked the 21st Grand Slam win of his career, breaking a tie with Roger Federer and trailing Rafael Nadal’s men’s record of 22.
The 35-year-old has now won his last 28 matches on the grass court at Wimbledon. Only Federer has won more Wimbledon titles with eight.
Djokovic dropped the opening set to the 27-year-old Australian, 4-6, before winning the next three sets 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) to complete his victory. He joined John McEnroe as the only major champion to lose his opening set in the quarterfinal, semifinal and final matches. McEnroe did the same at the 1981 U.S. Open.
The historic win had many on social media naming Djokovic as the sport’s Greatest of All-Time, otherwise known as the GOAT.
