Roger Federer fought back and took advantage rather than his second. After a distinctly Swiss Volley, up to 12-10, got the crowd up and cheered while Djokovic beat his racket repeatedly against his shoe. Then had the tennis giants have been out on the grass in London for almost two hours.

– He makes you to work hard for every point and not give anything away.
With the victory, Djokovic has now as many Wimbledon victories as his coach, Boris Becker. He also went up side by side with American legend John McEnroe. Djokovic heaped praise on Becker after the victory.
– It took a while before we began to understand each other. He is German and I am Serb, so there is a big difference! said Djokovic happily.
He made the same gesture of victory as one year ago and the kneeling up some blades of grass on center court.
