Novak Djokovic beat
Roger Federer in an epic five-set match to win the 2019 men's
Wimbledon title.
Djokovic won the final tie break in the fifth set after trading sets throughout the match that lasted nearly five hours of playing in center court at the All England Club.
It was the players’ third meeting at Wimbledon with Djokovic winning both of the previous matchups, in 2014 and 2015.
Federer, who is 37, was going for his 21st Grand Slam trophy overall on Sunday, while the 32-year-old Djokovic is playing for his 16th.
They have played each other 47 times already, with Djokovic holding a 25-22 head-to-head edge. This is also their 16th showdown at a major tournament — the most between any two men in the professional era — and Djokovic leads that count 9-6 so far.
On Saturday, Romanian player Simona Halep beat American Serena Williams in straight sets, stopping Williams from tying the record for 24 Grand Slam trophies.
