Ticket: Today's summary clip, 10.7 (Sports 1)

Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon today (Sunday) for the seventh time in his career and for the fourth time in a row.

The Serb came back from a battle lag to 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-7 (3) against Nick Kirius and once again chewed the grass on Wimbledon’s main pitch.

It should be noted that this was probably Djokovic's last Grand Slam in 2022, which he opened with an absence from the Australian Championships.

The United States still has a vaccine requirement for foreigners and at the moment the Serb is still refusing to get vaccinated, so he is not expected to play in New York.
