Novak Djokovic wrote his name once more onto the honor boards at Wimbledon, defeating Nick Kyrgios in the final of the 2022 edition of the tournament. Despite losing the first set, the World No. 3 found his rhythm as the match went on and played a near-flawless game in the next three sets to wrap up the clash 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3).With the triumph, the Serb won his 21st Grand Slam title and leapfrogged Roger Federer into second position in the Slam race, one short of Rafael Nadal's record of 22. He also equaled Pete Sampras' tally of seven titles at SW19, and only trails behind Federer's record of eight trophies at the grass Major.Wimbledon@WimbledonMagnificent.

The measure of dominance will always be Nadal at RG, but to win 9 in Australia and 7 at Wimbledon, which are so far apart in time and surface, is just wild.5713Absolutely wild that Djokovic has become so insanely dominant at 2 different Slams.

Having won the tournament last year as well, the Serb was defending 2000 points at SW19 and is bound to lose them all when the rankings are refreshed on Monday.andyroddick@andyroddickAlso the fact that there are no points awarded for this tournament means that Nole now drops to 7 in the world w this victory.
