Novak Djokovic put a torrid couple of years behind him to secure his fourth Wimbledon title with a 6-2 6-2 7-6(3) over South African Kevin Anderson. It was his first major since the 2016 French Open. It marked the end of a road back to form having struggled with elbow issues, confidence problems and multiple changes to his coaching entourage.
With his young son Stefan watching from the stands, Djokovic put on businesslike performance, dominating all aspects of the encounter. It was a contrast to the battle royale he faced with Rafael Nadal in the Semi-finals on Friday.

Anderson threatened to extend the match in the third set with five game points but Djokovic’s will prevailed under pressure and Anderson pushed a forehand return into the net to bring an end to proceedings.
