Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic clinches sixth title
London: Serbian Tennis icon Novak Djokovic shined as he clinched his sixth Wimbledon Men's singles title by beating tough competitor Italy's Matteo Berrettini here on Sunday.
With this victory, he equaled Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's record of 20 men's Grand Slam victories.
In the Central court, the Serb created history by beating his opponent 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-4 6-3.
Berrettini was playing his first major grand slam final.
The Serbian icon has now won all three Grand Slam men's titles in 2021.
"Winning Wimbledon was always the biggest dream for me when I was a kid," the world number one, who dropped a set for only the second time in the SW19 fortnight, was quoted as saying by BBC.
