New Delhi: Serbian top seed Novak Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6(3) to win his seventh Wimbledon title on Sunday. The Serb has now won four consecutive Wimbledon titles and move one Grand Slam behind Rafael Nadal on 21. Kyrgios won the opening set with some brilliant serves but he failed to maintain his momentum as Djokovic won the second and third sets with ease. Kyrgios gave a tough fight to Djokovic in the last set but it was not enough to stop the top-seed Serb from creating history.
