The former world number one and now the third ranked player defeated Australian Nick Kyrgios 4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 7:6 in the final and triumphed for the fourth time in a row on London grass. By winning the 21st Grand Slam title, he approached the record of Rafael Nadal, who has one more trophy. “Congratulations to Novak Djokovic on his seventh win at Wimbledon. He gave a controlled and masterful performance. Shame, Nick. But you are very talented and I hope to see you soon in the next Grand Slam final,” wrote the legendary Australian tennis player Rod Laver on Twitter. Congratulations on winning your 7th Wimbledon Novak Djokovic, that was a controlled and masterful performance. Bad luck Nick, you have so much talent, I hope to see you in another Slam final soon. — Rod Laver (@rodlaver) July 10, 2022 Former Great Britain player Tim Henman pointed out that Djokovic can avoid health problems. While Roger Federer has been sidelined by an injured knee and Nadal had to withdraw from Wimbledon before the semi-finals due to a torn abdominal muscle, the Serb remains fit even at the age of thirty-five. “I really believe he has the hunger and motivation to keep coming back and competing. Consider the special relationship Novak had with his coach Marian Vajda and the one he still has with Goran (Ivanisevic). I think both of them can bring out the best in Djokovic Henman said. Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title this season. He did not start at the Australian Open due to the fact that he was not vaccinated against the coronavirus, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals at the clay court Roland Garros. “He is a great champion. They said it would be a long time before he won a Grand Slam again, but in the end it wasn’t that long. It took exactly as much time as he needed to recover from the things that happened to him,” Ivanisevic said. He can turn doubt into courage American tennis player Tennys Sandgren also commented on his great mental strength: “He is an incredible alchemist. He can change the battle field into a sanctuary and doubt into courage,” he said. Denis Shapovalov, the sixteenth player in the world, also agreed with him. “He is constantly raising the bar. He is a great champion,” wrote the Canadian tennis player, who finished in the second round at Wimbledon this year. Author: © List Twitter/Rod Laver; VIDEO: YouTube/Wimbledon Source: ČTK
